Vascular neurologist Dr. Matthew Schrag (MD, PhD) joins The Corey Alexander Show to discuss one of the biggest scientific scandals in modern medicine.
He is a practicing Vascular Neurologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, assistant professor of neurology, director of the Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Clinic, and an investigator with the Vanderbilt Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
In 2022, Dr. Schrag uncovered evidence of manipulated data in a landmark 2006 Alzheimer's research paper that helped shape two decades of Alzheimer's research based on false conclusions. His findings and actions as a whistleblower at the risk of his career led to investigations involving the NIH, FDA, Department of Justice, SEC, and major scientific journals, raising difficult questions about scientific integrity, research funding, institutional accountability, and the future of Alzheimer's treatment. Beyond the fraud investigation, Dr. Schrag explains what Alzheimer's disease actually is, why the dominant amyloid hypothesis has struggled to produce meaningful treatments, how vascular health influences cognitive decline, and what current research suggests you can do to reduce your risk of dementia.
