Remember Me Red SPECIAL UPDATE!

We are honored to host Nathaniel A. Chin, MD, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and a geriatrician specializing in memory care. He serves as the medical director of the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC), the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP), and the ADRC Consortium

for Clarity in ADRD Research Through Imaging (CLARiTI). In addition to his leadership roles, he sees patients each week and serves as associate program director of the UW Health Geriatric Memory Clinical Program. Dr. Chin’s clinical and research efforts focus on early detection of cognitive impairment, the use of biomarkers in diagnosis, and improving quality of life after diagnosis through comprehensive, person-centered care. He is also interested in understanding how modifiable factors—such as lifestyle, environment, and health behaviors—affect biomarkers and the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease. A passionate communicator, he is the

creator and host of Dementia Matters, a nationally recognized podcast exploring Alzheimer’s research, caregiving, and brain health. His work has been featured in The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Scientific American, as well as in national outlets such as NPR, The New York Times, and Forbes.

Nathaniel lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with his wife and childhood friend, Erin, their sons, Augustine and Bennett, and their dog, Wendell. His mother, Karen, lives just across the isthmus.
