Unlike most patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Daniel Gibbs, M.D., R '89, Ph.D. is a neurologist. He’s spent his life studying and caring for patients with the very disease now affecting him. “I’m fascinated by this disease that, for my entire career, I could only observe from the outside. Now I’m on the patient side of the experience.”
