Dr. William Frey, Senior Research Director, Center for Memory and Aging, HealthPartners Neuroscience Center shares his insights about delivering therapeutic agents to the brain by-passing the blood-brain barrier.  Based on an unusual dream he had in 1989, Bill has been on the path to discover and patent a noninvasive intranasal method of delivering drugs to the brain to treat Alzheimer's and other brain disorders.  Bill also warns that we should be looking at how COVID-19 is reaching the brain and any long-term impact the virus might have.
