Part the Cloud grants take Alzheimer's research a step closer
Alzheimer's researchers believe that a variety of approaches will be needed — most likely in combination — for effective treatment of the disease. Through new grants from the Alzheimer's Association Part the Cloud Translational Research Initiative, scientists are evaluating the use of existing HIV/AIDS, diabetes and organ transplant drugs as possible therapies for Alzheimer's. The grants will also fund research on drugs that might alleviate, delay or slow the brain changes associated with the disease. Learn more.
