In this German interview segment, Lisa Mosconi explains how personal family experiences with Alzheimer’s disease guided her early focus on the condition. She recounts witnessing her grandmother’s rapid cognitive decline and the similar symptoms in her aunts, which sparked questions about a possible link between Alzheimer’s and female sex. Mosconi notes that two‑thirds of Alzheimer’s patients are women, a fact historically overlooked because studies predominantly involved white men and older age was blamed for the disparity. She critiques the longstanding gender bias in medical research, emphasizing the need to include women, people of color, and consider factors such as the microbiome. Mosconi calls for a shift toward sex‑specific and inclusive neuroscience, drawing parallels to progress made in cardiology, and stresses that addressing these biases is essential for effective prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s.
