Can GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs Treat Alzheimer’s?
21/08/2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Recent research suggests that GLP 1 analogs—a class of drugs used to control blood sugar—may also protect brain health, improve memory, and slow neurodegeneration.
Join Paul Edison, MBBS, PhD, FRCPI, professor of neuroscience at Imperial College London, for a discussion on the science behind GLP 1 drugs and their potential role in Alzheimer’s treatment. Dr. Edison will review what GLP 1 analogs are, how they work in the brain, results from early studies, and what’s next for this promising research.
