NJ Researchers Making Strides In Alzheimer’s Research

By Jim Monaghan

Researchers in New Jersey are making significant strides in Alzheimer’s research, developing groundbreaking therapies that can slow Alzheimer’s disease progression and improve patient quality of life. Learn about the latest advancements and discover tips for supporting your brain health.

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, the ideal time to explore how clinical trials transform treatments and early detection methods for Alzheimer’s disease and other brain health issues.

Our guest this morning on Jersey Magazine is Dr Sanjiv Sharma, MD, who has been involved in memory research since 2009.

In 2013, he started CenExelAMRI as the principal investigator. Since then he has worked on over 35 memory related protocols.

Dr. Sharma has his board certification in internal medicine as well as geriatric medicine. He is passionate about caring for patients and families who are worried about memory loss.

Dr. Sharma graduated from Mahatma Gandhi Medical Memorial College in Jamshedpur, India and completed his residency in internal medicine at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

In 2000, Dr. Sharma opened his private practice, Geriatric Medical Center, in Toms River, New Jersey.

  • Music and Camping This Summer At Bethel Woods

    Bethel Woods is the site of the original 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, just a short drive from here in New Jersey to New York’s Catskills region.

    With the current trend of camping and “glamping” — which accounted for approximately 32 percent of all leisure trips taken in 2022 — Bethel Woods has something brand new for the 2024 concert season – an amazing on-site camping experience.

    Just like the festival’s alumni once did, visitors can experience an unforgettable night of camping under the stars at the iconic site. The new state-of-the-art campground is designed to cater to a variety of preferences, featuring basic campsite amenities as well as luxurious glamping facilities.

    Eric Frances, the CEO of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has all the details.

    About Itty Bitty

    Itty loves her toys
    Itty is such a sweet dog. Very people-focused, affectionate, and friendly. On Rock N’ Ruff, we highlight all types of animals. Dogs, Cats, we’ve had chinchillas and rats! And of course, those that have special needs. Itty Bitty was found wandering a local park/woods, sweetly following walkers desperate for someone to pay her attention. She was also found with a collapsed trachea and is being evaluated by a local vet working with The Denville Animal Shelter. Itty makes a “strange” noise, which makes her very unique. Itty’s challenges don’t get her down AT ALL. She is the happiest, most joyful pup, so anxious to make friends, and has great energy. She is a real love bug. We would love a quiet home for Itty, because it helps with her condition, and she is so people-focused, she’s perfect as a best friend.

    About The Denville Animal Shelter

    This shelter is run by Meredith Petrillo the Denville Animal Control Officer and shelter volunteers to promote community involvement to identify, help, and adopt Denville animals. They have a passion and compassion for all animals. They do not charge an adoption fee, however, welcome donations and do their best to pair animals and their humans to find a great match. I have adopted twice from The Denville Animal Shelter- (My Rosie and my late pup Star) and so have many of our WDHA staffers.
