Huntington's disease, a genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of the brain's nerve cells, was poorly understood when Nancy Wexler first began studying the disease as a young scientist. In an exclusive, multi-part interview with the Lasker Foundation, Wexler discusses her life's work to increase awareness and find therapies for Huntington's disease. In this first chapter, she shares her family’s personal connection to the genetic disorder and why she chose to dedicate her life to Huntington’s research.
