Einstein Receives $6 Million Grant to Untangle the Genetic Protections Against Alzheimer's Disease

November 13, 2017—BRONX, NY—The number of older adults with Alzheimer’s disease continues to rise, but the number of treatments for the condition has not kept pace. Now, researchers atAlbert Einstein College of Medicine, part ofMontefiore, have received a $6.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to identify networks of genes in healthy centenarians that protect them against dementia. The results could help identify new targets for drugs to treat Alzheimer’s.
