Dr. Rudolph Tanzi is the Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit, Co-Director of the McCance Center for Brain Health, Co-Director of the Mass General Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease, and Vice-Chair of Neurology (Research), at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is also the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Tanzi co-discovered all three early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) genes, APP, PSEN1 and PSEN2, as well as several other AD genes including CD33 and ADAM10 and the Wilson’s disease gene. Dr. Tanzi’s lab used human stem cells to create 3D neural-glial culture models of AD, which were the first to recapitulate all three pathological hallmarks of AD. He has used these models to screen for known drugs that can be repurposed to treat AD, including gamma secretase modulators soon entering into clinical trials. Dr. Tanzi has published over 600 papers, received numerous awards, including the Metropolitan Life Award, Potamkin Prize, and Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award, and has been included on the list of the TIME100 Most Influential People in the World. Dr. Tanzi is also a New York Times bestselling author of Decoding Darkness, Super Brain, Super Genes, and The Healing Self, for which he has hosted several television shows on PBS.
