Dr. Nathaniel Chin discusses UW–Madison role in Alzheimer’s disease blood tests with regional media outlets
Nathaniel Chin, MD, medical director of the WRAP study, appeared on numerous Wisconsin news outlets to discuss the recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease.
