Catching Alzheimer’s before symptoms start
UNC-Chapel Hill’s Ronit Freeman leads IMPEDE, a consortium backed by up to $24.8 million from ARPA-H to catch protein-misfolding diseases like Alzheimer’s and pulmonary fibrosis before symptoms appear.
During a fireside chat, UNC Carolina Chief Innovation Officer Tommy Sowers will talk with Freeman about forming the consortium, why she paired a brain disease with a lung disease, how AI is tackling “undruggable” proteins, her path toward a pulmonary fibrosis venture, and how Carolina’s innovation ecosystem moves discoveries toward patients.
