Eva Feldman, M.D., Ph.D. Russell N. DeJong Professor of Neurology
Director, Program for Neurology Research & Discovery

Often when you think of research scientists who are impacting the human race, you envision a man in a laboratory.

Well, after spending a brief amount of time with Dr. Feldman, you quickly see times are changing.

This dynamo, powerhouse director of the Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute at the University of Michigan directs a team of thirty scientists who are trying to find new ways to treat a wide variety of neurological diseases, from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) to Alzheimer’s.

This is just the beginning of the filming we will be doing with Dr. Feldman.  We plan to follow her through a typical day working with patients whose lives she is trying to improve or, in some cases, cure a disease they have been diagnosed with.
