Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of £102,095 ($120,000 at the time of conversion) to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to support epidemiological research, led by Professors Sinead Langhan and Charlotte Warren-Gash, on the impact of drugs used to treat psoriasis on Alzheimer’s risk.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s November 2021 support for Professor Warren-Gash’s research on viral infections. Good Ventures, with support from Open Philanthropy, has been investigating how best to fund scientific research that might help reduce the future burden of Alzheimer’s disease.
