What happened
A Stowers scientist has been selected for a $28.6 million research effort to predict protein changes behind neurodegenerative diseases. The diseases named include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS and Huntington's, which are associated with proteins that change shape, stick together and eventually damage cells. The ARPA-H grant will fund a protein aggregation dataset with 10 billion measurements.
Why it matters
The project aims to predict early protein dysfunction and the onset of neurodegenerative disease.
