The Harold and Margaret Southerland Alzheimer’s Research Fund was founded by David and Susan Caron to honor Susan’s late parents who both suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. Harold Southerland was a 40-year employee of Boston University and was a strong supporter of the institution as a plumbing supervisor. The fund will support novel areas of Alzheimer’s disease research in the Ho laboratory including why a protein called apolipoprotein E is a strong risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. More details can be found in a recent Bostonia article.
