Dr. Laura Blair Receives Inaugural Douglas Scholar Award from the Harrington Discover Institute

 

Dr. Blair named 2023 Douglas Scholar together with Dr. Brian Blagg at Notre Dame

Dr. Blair was selected as the 2023 Cathy and Paul Douglas Scholar in Alzheimer’s Discovery with co-PI, Dr. Brian Blagg at Notre Dame.

This funding from the Harrington Discovery Institute will enable the progression of the Blair/Blagg lab collaboration to test these Aha1/Hsp90 disruptors for their ability to prevent tau fibrilization in vivo. The long-term goal is to develop therapeutic strategies that slow the accumulation of tau through targeting the Aha1/Hsp90 complex.
