Year 1

We have made steady and significant progress in developing a way to use human reprogrammed stem cells to develop drugs for Alzheimer’s disease. In the more recent project term we have further refined our key assay, and generated sufficient cells to enable screening of 50,000 different chemical candidates that might reveal potential drugs for this terrible disease. With a little bit of additional refinement, we will be able to begin our search in earnest in collaboration with the Sanford-Burnham Prebys Screening Center.
