S1 Ep3: Inside The Turning Point
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the biggest unmet medical needs of our time. Lilly has been committed to Alzheimer’s research for more than 30 years, and continues to remain determined to find solutions for this horrible disease. In 2015, Lilly provided a grant to Academy Award–nominated filmmaker and health care advocate James Keach to make the documentary Turning Point, which granted him access into “the cave” as the Lilly team learned the fate of the Alzheimer’s Expedition 3 study. On this episode, Joe talks with James and Ron DeMattos, Lilly’s chief scientific officer for neurobiologics. Hear what factors inspired the making of Turning Point and the story of the Lilly scientists on the front lines of Alzheimer’s research, capturing both the disappointment and resilience of those working to disrupt the disease.
