NJ Researchers Making Strides In Alzheimer’s Research

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.

We are welcoming a brand new feature to Jersey Magazine this week with Mike Ham from Greetings From the Garden State.

Each week, Mike will highlight a special person or place that makes New Jersey so unique.

This week, Mike previews his conversation with Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman, the founders of Weird NJ.

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.

Jeremy Sheetinger is the head baseball coach atGeorgia Gwinnett Colleg where he led the Grizz Gang to the 2021 NAIA National Championship.

These quick hits may, on the surface, be geared toward his fellow baseball coaches, but his motivational message can easily be applied to the classroom, workplace, and your personal relationships.

This week, Coach Sheets asks if we need to recalibrate our individual awareness.
