Why “Team Science” Matters

Alzheimer’s affects memory, independence, and families. No single expert can solve it alone. In South Carolina, researchers and clinicians work together in a continuous loop—discovering new clues, developing tools, delivering care, and sharing what works—then repeating the cycle.

Who’s On the Team?

• Brain Imaging & Neurology: Spot early changes before symptoms get worse.
• Biology Labs: Study blood and tissue to find reliable signs of disease.
• Engineers: Build wearables to track sleep, movement, and daily function.
• Public Health: Learn what families need, reduce barriers, and support caregivers.

What It Means for Families

• Earlier answers: Better detection can guide care sooner.
• Real-life tools: Wearables and check-ins help track how someone is doing at home.
• Fair access: The program studies and addresses gaps in care for rural and underserved communities.

Alzheimer’s is complex, and families deserve solutions that work in everyday life. In South Carolina, a team of brain doctors, lab scientists, engineers, and public-health experts work in a continuous loop—discover, develop, deliver, and share. That means earlier detection, tools that help at home, and a focus on fairness so more people get the support they need. It’s a simple idea with a big impact: when experts work together, families benefit sooner.
