  In other news on leveraging AI for research on Alzheimer's, @OpenAI Foundation just announced the “AI for Alzheimer's” initiative @JacobTref : https://openaifoundation.org/ ...

  LLMs can help but proper diagnosis is needed to treat Alzheimer's. The dementia is not caused by amyloid plaques outside neurons, but because microtubules inside neurons disassemble, dislodging ‘tau’, a microtubule-associated protein. Microtubules form and regulate synapses,

  We are excited to partner with the OpenAI Foundation (@FoundationOAI) to use @ArcInstitute's AI lab-in-the-loop to tackle Alzheimer's disease. We have established Arc as a full stack biology and AI research organization to go after complex human diseases, and Alzheimer's in

  OpenAI Foundation is taking an end-to-end approach to tackling Alzheimer's with AI. We're supporting the full spectrum of work — from early diagnosis and better understanding of the disease, to accelerating new drug discovery. This month, we're finalizing over $100M in grants

  “AI can't help us solve Alzheimer's disease without the right data. We've learned at @EvEBiotech that generating foundational datasets requires intentionality. There's never been a more important time to invest in these dedicated efforts.” —@eamcvey, CEO of Eve Bio

  Tackling hard problems is energizing, especially with a great set of partners! I'm excited to be part of this via @EvEBiotech where we're generating data that models can learn from. For everyone who is or will be impacted by Alzheimer's...let's make this line go down!! [image]

  We're grateful to @FoundationOAI for their investment in us and others in the Alzheimer's community. AI will be essential for understanding complex diseases and Arc is working to map the full network of causal factors to pinpoint nodes for intervention: https://arcinstitute.org/.…

  I love these kinds of applications and the creativity and boldness of orgs in pursuing them. Benefiting humanity takes on many forms; initiative like this are just such an unambiguous benefit.

  Congrats to the OAI Foundation team and @JacobTref for more than $100 million in grants across six research institutions just this month, as a first step to support and accelerate Alzheimer's research!! https://openaifoundation.org/ ...

• @skonermann Silvana Konermann on x

  We are really grateful to work with OpenAI Foundation to advance @arcinstitute's Alzheimer's initiative! We designed Arc in part to tackle Alzheimer's, since it's the archetypal complex disease. Our goal is to model and understand how genes and environment shape risk a complex

  As someone for whom early-onset Alzheimer's runs in the family, this is incredibly cool to see.

  Alzheimer's is one of medicine's hardest unsolved problems, and one of the most devastating. At the OpenAI Foundation, we believe AI is well suited to its complexity. We're directing over $100M to scientists mapping the disease, designing drugs, & more. I wrote about it here:
