Today, he is part of the Northwell Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery and of the Alzheimer’s Research Center at Feinstein. Along with basic research, Dr. Giliberto has the privilege to care for Alzheimer’s patients, offer them clinical trials and help them and their families cope with the disruption that this disease brings to their lives.
