Lisa Genova | Speaker Biography

Bestselling author of "Still Alice"
Neuroscientist with a Ph.D. from Harvard
Advocate for Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative diseases

Lisa Genova is an accomplished author and neuroscientist. She graduated with honours from Bates College and earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Harvard University. Lisa combines her expertise in neuroscience with storytelling, earning her the titles of the Oliver Sacks of fiction and the Michael Crichton of brain science. She is the bestselling author of several novels, including "Still Alice," "Left Neglected," "Love Anthony," "Inside the O'Briens," and "Every Note Played." Her first nonfiction book, "Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting," also became a New York Times bestseller.

"Still Alice" was adapted into a film featuring Julianne Moore, who won an Oscar for her role. Other adaptations of Lisa's novels are in development. She has been recognised for her contributions to aging and neuroscience and has appeared on various media platforms, including "Live with Kelly & Ryan," "TODAY," and TED talks that have attracted millions of views. 

Lisa has received numerous awards for her storytelling and advocacy work. She serves on the Advisory Boards of several organisations focused on Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative diseases. Her speeches address memory, forgetting, and the role of storytelling in fostering empathy and understanding.
