From Atoms to Community
Structural discovery only matters if it reaches people. We translate molecular insight into brain-health outreach, trusted partnerships, and programs that meet communities where they are.
Programs
Ways we connect the lab's science to community brain health.
Brain Health Outreach
Public events and educational sessions bringing plain-language brain health information directly to community members.
Community Advisory Board
A standing group of community members who guide our outreach priorities and help keep the lab's work accountable to the people it serves.
Clinic & School Partnerships
Ongoing relationships with local clinics and schools that extend brain health resources and research awareness into everyday settings.
Community Events
Upcoming and recent outreach events open to the community.
Senior Spades Tournament — Brain Health & Alzheimer's Awareness
VUMC "On the Horizon" Town Hall — Community Engagement in Advancing Health Care & Research
Resources for the Community
Plain-language materials and ways to connect, plus the full lab resource library.
Brain Health Basics
Plain-language guide to the brain health topics covered at outreach events.
Join the Advisory Board
How community members can apply to join or nominate someone for the advisory board.
Full Resource Library
