Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $800,000 over two years to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to support a multidisciplinary investigation of the mechanisms associated with resilience to Alzheimer’s disease. This includes the development of a drug that mimics the effects of the ApoE3ch allele, which has been reported to suppress early-onset Alzheimer’s.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of scientific research, specifically within its interest in advancing human health and wellbeing.
