Daniel Loeb & Margaret Munzer Loeb

Dan Loeb and Margaret Munzer Loeb established the Ronald M. Loeb Center for Alzheimer's Disease in honor of Dan's father, who died in 2012 after an eight-year battle with the disease. The Loebs collaborated with CEO and President of the Mount Sinai Health System, Kenneth L. Davis, MD, to create a center with a multidisciplinary approach that brings together some of the best minds in Alzheimer's research, stem cell research, and genomics.

"It is an honor to establish this center in my father's memory to support groundbreaking work in Alzheimer's disease research," said Dan Loeb. "When my father was sick, I learned how painful this illness is for those afflicted and their families. I also recognized that there is little hope for patients today beyond slowing the progression of Alzheimer's. We urgently need more resources to find a cure or effective prevention."
