UBC research aims to close the gap in Alzheimer’s research
September 12, 2023
While people of Asian ancestry make up more than 16 per cent of Canada’s population, they’ve been vastly underrepresented in Alzheimer’s research to date, comprising less than 3 per cent of participants in clinical trials and national data sets. UBC researchers are working to close that gap.
Hear from Dr. Robin Hsiung, an associate professor of neurology and researcher at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, who explains the importance of addressing racial inequities in Alzheimer’s research to improve Alzheimer’s care for Asian Canadians.
