Dr. Steven R. Beach's lab at the University of Georgia focuses on understanding the factors that affect Alzheimer's disease, particularly among African Americans who are often underrepresented in research. The lab investigates how social, economic, and genetic factors influence the biomarkers related to Alzheimer's, using a long-term study that tracks families over many years. They aim to identify ways to improve health trajectories and potentially mitigate the impact of Alzheimer's disease in vulnerable populations.
