Reagan's Daughter, David Hyde Pierce To Be Featured Speakers Neuroscience Event
Two well-known public advocates for Alzheimer's disease research, Patti Davis, daughter of former President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan, and actor David Hyde Pierce of TV's "Frasier" and the new feature film, "Down to Earth," will address guests at the Monday, May 19 formal dedication and opening of the Farber Institute for Neurosciences of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia. Both Ms. Davis and Mr. Pierce, who is a national board member of the Alzheimer's Association, also have personal experiences with Alzheimer's. Ms. Davis' father, the former president, has the disease and some members of Mr. Hyde's family, including his grandfather, have dealt with the illness. Nobel Laureate and neurobiologist Paul Greengard, PhD, professor and head of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University, will also be an honored guest. Greengard chairs the Farber Institute for Neurosciences External Scientific Advisory Board. He was honored with colleagues in 2000 for their discovery of how dopamine and a number of other transmitters in the brain exert their action in the nervous system.
