Bob Datta, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, was recently awarded an Edward N. And Della L. Thome Memorial Foundation Award in Alzheimer’s Disease Drug Discovery research. This is a collaborative project between Datta’s lab and the labs of Bernardo Sabatini, MD, PhD (HMS), and Beth Stevens, PhD (Boston Children’s) in order to look at new potential mechanisms and therapies for Alzheimer’s disease.

The goal of the 2017 Awards Program in Alzheimer’s Disease Drug Discovery Research is to support innovative drug discovery research that will lead to improved therapies for individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
