L: Dr. Randall Bateman updates Board and leadership on therapy research at Washington University’s Bateman Lab. R: GHR and C2N Diagnostics teams reviewed groundbreaking blood tests at the BioSTL innovations building.
Members of GHR’s Board and executive leadership traveled to St. Louis, Missouri for visits with key Biomedical partners at The Washington University School of Medicine and C2N Diagnostics. The trip provided a unique opportunity for the GHR team to gain a deeper understanding of the groundbreaking research supported by the Alzheimer’s Initiative, and to build relationships with leading scientists behind recent and significant breakthroughs.
Beginning with a focus on GHR’s support for prevention trials in the genetic early-onset population, the trip commenced with a visit to the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. There, Dr. Bateman and team shared progress underway with the DIAN Network, which supports families with genetic mutations that cause them to develop early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. The group had the opportunity to hear from a dedicated DIAN participant, who shared their personal story and journey with the DIAN team at WashU. The group then toured the Bateman Lab at the Tracy Family SILQ Center where researchers are using basic science to develop novel therapies for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
This was followed by a visit to the offices of C2N Diagnostics, the company established to bring new diagnostic inventions to patients. Offering an overview of groundbreaking diagnostics development, the visit included a tour of the C2N lab and progress updates from the C2N team.
Thanks to these committed researchers and study participants, our shared goal of preventing Alzheimer’s Disease is within reach.
