Their legacy already established in politics, Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, are working to leave a lasting mark on neuroscience. Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital on Tuesday will announce the launch of the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases, a venture funded by the Romneys and their expansive political network that will assemble scores of the world's most accomplished doctors and scientists to collaborate against five neurological diseases that have no cure: multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's and brain tumors. The Romneys and their friends from across the nation will gather in Boston on Tuesday night to promote the center, which represents an expansion and redesign of an existing neuroscience program at the Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospital to be housed in a state-of-the-art building set to open in 2016.
