Hear directly from Dr. Huda Zoghbi about the Duncan NRI’s unprecedented advancements in neurodegenerative disease research. In exciting recent work, our researchers have identified a pathway in the brain that can lower levels of a protein called “tau,” which would be protective to the aging brain and has the potential to delay or prevent dementia. Through discoveries like these, our extraordinary team of physician-scientists, computational scientists, geneticists and others is unraveling the underlying mechanisms responsible for these devastating disorders and paving the way for the development of breakthrough therapies.
