Cure Alzheimer's Fund's Charles Glabe - Making Strides in Alzheimer's Vaccination Research
Written by Eva Thursday, 22 October 2009 12:07
In our latest Quarterly Report we highlighted the work of Cure Alzheimer's Fund researcher Dr. Charles Glabe, who is conducting groundbreaking research on vaccinations and immunotherapy. In case you didn't catch the article, here's an excerpt:
The development of vaccinations as a strategy for treating or preventing Alzheimer’s is an example of thinking out of the box. Vaccinations commonly are associated with infectious diseases, like influenza, small pox and polio, which appear to have little in common with neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s. Moreover, the brain is an immunoprivileged site with little access to antibodies, so it seems unlikely antibodies would be protective in the brain.

"Rock Stars of Science" Event a Huge Success!

Yesterday's Rock Stars of Science event in DC was a huge success. In front of a great audience, our own Rudy Tanzi brought home the point that strong support for Alzheimer's research is critical for finding a cure. He and the rest of the all-star line up of speakers urged Congress to increase funding for research and praised Congressional champions of research like MA Congressman Ed Markey.
But the event wasn't all serious. Rudy also took the stage with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and NIH Director Francis Collins for a once in a lifetime performance.
We'll be bringing you more video from the event next week, so stay tuned.
