The Galveston County Daily News, October 1, 2021

The Galveston/Bay Area Walk to End Alzheimer’s is Oct. 9 at Stewart Beach Pavilion in Galveston. Jim Byrom, chair of the campaign, mentioned UTMB in his column. “Through our walk and Alzheimer’s Association contributions, we’ve been able to partner with the University of Texas Medical Branch and award the hospital over $300,000 for research grants to support the projects of Drs. Balaji Krishnan, Yogesh Wairkar and Giulio Taglialatela all at the Mitchell Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases,” he wrote.
