‘It’s going to come quicker than we think’: Parkinson’s advocate shares hope for treatment as Allen Institute launches AI-powered initiative
The institute has launched the Brain Health Accelerator, an international collaboration involving about 30 research organizations that will use artificial intelligence, human brain tissue and advanced cellular mapping to better understand diseases including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, Huntington’s disease and Lewy body dementia.
Allen Institute sets sights on treatments for five brain diseases
The Brain Health Accelerator program aims to harness single-cell transcriptomics and cell-type-specific genetic tools to develop treatments for Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases, Lewy body dementia and ALS.
