Musk's Cuts Now 'Hobbling' Major Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Research Facility: Report

  • Approximately one-tenth of the workers at the NIH's Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias have been let go, including incoming director Kendall Van Keuren-Jensen, as reported by people familiar with the situation.
  • The firings are viewed as particularly damaging, as Van Keuren-Jensen was considered crucial for advancing research in Alzheimer's, according to insiders.
  • With 6.9 million Americans aged 65 or older living with Alzheimer's, the cuts are predicted to lead to setbacks in fighting dementias, as noted by Sargent.
  • The NIH's Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias is now facing challenges after significant staff reductions, impacting critical research into diseases affecting millions, according to Sargent.

Researchers ID gene enhancers possibly linked to Parkinson's
