FILM PROFITS TO FUND ALZ RESEARCH

​Dr. Nicolas Bazan has dedicated his professional career to neuroscience research. Now, he will donate profits from his film as well.

"Una Vida is our independently made film, and I have committed to donating 70% of the film's earnings to Alzheimer’s disease research," says Dr. Nicolas Bazan.

"The battle to conquer Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, age-related macular degeneration, Parkinson’s disease, and so many other brain and retina diseases – is not a story of continual everyday successes. It is a slow journey through a complicated maze that is often fraught with setbacks and unexpected twists and turns. I decided to contribute to write the screenplay for a movie, based on my novel that gave me the greater liberty of expressing my own worries, motivations, doubts, aspirations, joys and reflections about the work we do on the always-expanding frontiers of neuroscience. The film mirrors facets of my own personal and professional life, including why I strive to understand and combat the ravaging diseases and disorders that afflict the eyes and the brain."  - Dr. Nicolas Bazan
