The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) presented Rhoda Au, PhD, MBA, professor of anatomy & neurobiology, with the 2023 Melvin R. Goodes Prize for Excellence in Alzheimer’s Drug Development for her pioneering work with digital biomarkers. The annual award honors prominent scientists who are recognized for their work transforming the Alzheimer’s clinical trial space and was presented at the Ninth Annual Melvin R. Goodes Prize Luncheon.
“Dr. Au’s research is a critical part of this pivotal moment in Alzheimer’s research,” says Howard Fillit, MD, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at the ADDF. “Now that we are beginning to see drugs emerge on the market, it is more important than ever to have corresponding biomarkers that can help us identify which patients will benefit from the right drugs at the right time.”
