Stephen Salloway, a Carney Institute-affiliated professor and a global leader in Alzheimer’s disease research, was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame at the organization’s annual induction ceremony on Wednesday, May 8. Salloway is director of neurology and the Memory and Aging Program at Butler Hospital, and he is the Martin M. Zucker Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and professor of neurology at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.

Salloway's research focuses on biomarker and drug development for prevention and early treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. His team utilizes cutting edge fluid and imaging biomarkers and novel cognitive assessments, in collaboration with other Alzheimer's disease research centers, to map the evolution of Alzheimer's pathophysiology and determine risk and disease stage in both autosomal dominant and sporadic Alzheimer's disease. Learn more about Salloway's research.
