Dr. Lopera made significant discoveries in the field of Alzheimer's, leading to the identification of genetic causes and pioneering efforts to find preventative drugs.
He dedicated years to the large extended family in Colombia, identifying around 6,000 members, of whom about 1,200 carry the genetic mutation for Alzheimer's.
He was committed to both finding a cure for Alzheimer's and caring for patients already facing the disease, exemplifying a holistic approach to neurology.
Yakeel Quiroz, a former mentee, praised Dr. Lopera for his dedication and impact on Alzheimer’s research, noting that he was deeply invested in patient care.
