$3.7 Million Awarded from NIA for Alzheimer’s Research
Dr. Freeman and collaborators at OMRF (Drs. Beckstead, Rice, and Sharpe) have received a new award from the National Institute on Aging. This project is examining the role of the Major Histocompatibility Complex in neuroinflammation with aging and Alzheimer’s. Activation of immune processes in the brain with aging and Alzheimer's may be both an adaptive and deleterious response by the brain to maintain function. These studies over the next five years will examine a variety of modulations of these processes and how they affect cognition, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. Dr. Freeman was on our local news station KOCO talking about the new grant.
