Our host Kira Dineen is joined by Dr. Dayan Goodenowe. He is the Founder, President, and CEO of Prodrome Sciences Inc., and the Author of Breaking Alzheimer's: A 15-Year Crusade to Expose the Cause and Deliver the Cure, a novel about biomarkers of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and the science and clinical applications of plasmalogens for the therapeutic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Goodenowe’s primary professional interest is the advancement of precision preventative medicine into mainstream medical practice. The achievement of this goal involves the integration and translation of various scientific and technological fields such as basic biochemistry, biomarker discovery, diagnostic technology, biostatistics, clinical trial design and execution, targeted therapeutic development, epidemiology, and healthcare economics. The prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases is his primary focus. As the founder and CEO of Prodrome Sciences Inc., his primary responsibility is to build a next-generation team of dedicated researchers and other professionals and to work with and continue to grow his team such that Prodrome Sciences Inc. can reach its ultimate goal of saving lives and improving quality of life by implementing our targeted strategy of disease prevention through prodrome detection and treatment.
