The Development Office generated a short film about the Caron Family and their generous gift to support the Ho/Beffert and Stern Laboratories to study Alzheimer’s disease at Boston University. The Caron Family created the Harold and Margaret Southerland Alzheimer’s Research Fund to honor Susan Caron’s late parents who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. Their support allowed the Ho/Beffert laboratory to generate preliminary data for the recently awarded $2.4-million NIH grant to study the role of apoE and one of its receptors apoER2, and elucidate the functional roles of its many splice variants found in the human brain. You can watch the film here and read more about the fund at Bostonia.
