Abequest by the late Daniel J. Brennan, MD, is supporting significant advancements in Alzheimer’s disease research at the School of Medicine. The disease affects 5.5 million Americans — a number expected to climb rapidly as people live longer.
Following Brennan’s death in 2010, the estate gift created the Daniel J. Brennan, MD, Research Fund in the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (Knight ADRC). In 2017, at the family’s request, a portion of the gift was used to establish the Daniel J. Brennan, MD, Professorship in Neurology, further extending its impact.
