Despite being on the verge of meaningful breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research, many challenges remain in reaching clinical advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Stephen Salloway, MD, MS, Butler Hospital and Brown University, Providence, RI, shares his thoughts on some of the greatest needs in AD in order to continue advancing the field. Making AD a public health priority in the aging population, sharing research data and building on current progress are all essential to move forward. This interview took place during the [AD/PD™ 2021 conference](https://adpd.kenes.com/).
