UTRGV's School of Medicine beloved Brain and Beyond... Seminar Series, a cornerstone of our UTRGV SOM community for five years, is back!. Led by Dr. Gladys Maestre, Director of the Rio Grande Valley Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RGV AD-RCMAR) and Co-Director of South Texas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (South Texas ADRC), these seminars have sparked discussions, fostered collaborations, and showcased groundbreaking research. We have started to cover a wide breadth of topics, far beyond what we imagined covering when the series was first started. 

Our next seminar will be presented by Maria Mora Pinzon MD, MS, FACPM

Dr. Mora Pinzon is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. She will be presenting the topic: Understanding Motivations: The Intersection of Myth and Reality in Alzheimer’s Care Among Latinos in the USA
