A team of Harvard researchers received a grant from the Vranos Family Foundation for a five-year project seeking to find new methods to treat neurodegenerative diseases, according to a December press release.
The researchers on the project include Harvard Medical School professors Zak Kohane and Chirag Patel, Psychology and Neuroscience professor Randy L. Buckner, and Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology professors Paola Arlotta and Lee Rubin. The team will conduct both laboratory experiments and computational analyses to determine how the effects of brain aging can be halted or reversed.
