Nancy Wexler, a professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University, has spent her life researching and understanding Huntington's Disease. Her family's foundation, HDF, identified the Huntington’s gene in 1993, 25 years after her family launched their foundation. Years later, she began noticing the motor symptoms of the disease, and accepted her diagnosis. She serves as president of HDF and continues to attend board meetings and stay informed of the latest research in the field. Her new memoir, My Life, My Science: Pursuing a Cure for Huntington's disease, chronicles her personal and professional experiences with the disease. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of genetic testing and the need for genetic counseling.
