Nathaniel Chin, MD, was featured in the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s (AFA) Alzheimer’s TODAY magazine where he discussed genetic testing for Alzheimer’s disease, specifically focusing on important considerations for genetic testing and risks for discrimination following genetic tests for Alzheimer’s disease. Chin discussed this in the context of Australian actor Chris Hemsworth’s decision to share genetic test results that revealed he had a high risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

As well as serving as medical director for the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Chin serves on the Medical, Scientific and Memory Screening Advisory Board for the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
