While they may not have cured Alzheimer's, a team at Brigham Young University has discovered something so effective that one day, humans may never suffer the effects of the degenerative disease.
BYU Ph.D. student Chad Pollard earned the"Innovator of the Year" award at the school for spearheading the research and says they can now detect Alzheimer's diseases 10-15 years before current standard tests.
"So the Alzheimer's might exist, you might have cell deterioration," Jenkins explained."But once that's identified, you could apply a therapeutic that would then decrease that to such a low level that it's never going to be impactful to the individual’s lifestyle or to the individual themselves.""I woke up at three in the morning, went out and wrote everything down from like, three to five in the morning, my wife came out," Pollard chuckled.
After the pair proved the formulas and patented the work, the business model to fund and get their technology into the world began in earnest.The business is now lifting off the ground and the work continues, with efforts of a larger team of cell biology and physiology class-credit-craving students at BYU helping along the way.
