Alzheimer’s Association and Parkinson’s groups team up for research
The Alzheimer’s Association, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and the W. Garfield Weston Foundation of Canada announced that they will offer joint research grants to study the similarities and differences between these degenerative diseases, which together affect 6 million Americans. The hope is that by collaborating on research, scientists will gain insights that will lead to early diagnostics and better, more targeted treatments for both diseases.
