"Harnessing the Protein CHIP/STUB1 to Reduce Alzheimer’s Brain Pathology" 

Todd J. Cohen, PhD | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 

Co-Principal Investigators: 
Nicolas Brown, PhD &amp; Jonathan Schisler, PhD 

The research focuses on the role of the protein CHIP/STUB1 in Alzheimer’s disease, particularly its ability to prevent the aggregation of tau proteins linked to the disease’s progression.  The study aims to reduce tau pathology and improve cognitive function in people with Alzheimer’s. This innovative approach could lead to new gene therapies for Alzheimer’s and other tau related diseases.
