Jeff Carroll carries the gene for Huntington's disease, the same condition that killed his mother and grandmother. Now he's leading a $400 million initiative to find cures for brain diseases before his own symptoms progress.
After decades of studying how the brain works, researchers say they're finally ready to start fixing it when disease strikes. A new $400 million initiative will use genetic therapies to tackle Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other devastating brain disorders.
After decades of studying how the brain works, scientists at Seattle's Allen Institute are launching a major effort to develop genetic therapies for previously untreatable brain diseases. The breakthrough comes from mapping millions of brain cells and understanding exactly which neurons fail in conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's.
