Dr. Jefferey Greenberg Discusses Memory Loss, Alzheimer’s At EBPL
His life's mission is to run clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease, mild cognitive impairment and memory loss.
According to the National Institute of Health, about 40% of Americans over 65 will have some memory impairment. Jeffrey Greenberg, MD, will be speaking about this during his presentation “Memory Loss, Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Clinical Trials: Providing Hope” at the East Brunswick Public Library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) on June 14 at 7:00 pm.
Dr. Greenberg is a neurologist at Princeton and Rutgers Neurology in Monroe Township, NJ. His program will address several topics, including age-related memory loss, the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and what clinical trials are.
“Clinical Trials help determine if medications, vaccines and medical devices are effective for treating or preventing health diseases and conditions,” said Dr. Greenberg. “Patients with various diseases may volunteer to participate; they are considered medical heroes.”

In 2018, he co-founded Advanced Clinical Institute in Neptune, NJ, which administers clinical trials.
“Over the past two decades, I have personally seen the scourge of Alzheimer’s Disease. Having grown frustrated with the lack of effective treatment, I have made it my mission to establish and run clinical trials,” he added. “They provide patients with hope, a way to fight back and contribute to finding a cure.”
