Dr. Verghese is the Principal Investigator and Medical Director of Keystone Clinical Studies in Plymouth Meeting. He and his team conduct clinical studies on behalf of the NIH, universities, and sponsoring pharmaceutical companies for Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive diseases, as well as depression, schizophrenia, and tardive dyskinesia.
Dr. Verghese will talk with us about the newest findings for the Alzheimer’s, the ubiquitous nature of Mild Cognitive Disease, as well as the specific clinical studies he is working on. He will also speak of the value and service by individual patients participating in clinical studies, in some studies regardless of whether the individual has been diagnosed with certain conditions or not. This is certain to be of interest to all with aging parents, friends, and relatives, as well as all club members.
As a special note, Dr. Verghese led the Rotary Rotaract Club at Grant Medical College in Bombay, India, while he was attending Medical School. We’ll bring him back later in the year to tell us about those experiences!
Please note - we are planning to continue with a hybrid meeting format. For hybrid meetings we are aiming for a minimum of 20 in-person attendees in order to support the meeting logistics. For those comfortable to attend in person, masking and social distancing rules will be followed although relaxed if you are vaccinated. Registration is required for in-person attendance so that we can plan meals. Register here if you have not done so.
