IDSA Foundation Announces More Than $1 Million in Grant Funds for Researchers Linking Infectious Agents in Alzheimerâs Disease
Newswise ARLINGTON, Va. (January 12, 2021) – Ten researchers who are exploring the link between an infectious agent and Alzheimer’s disease have each been awarded $100,000 research grants through the IDSA Foundation’s Microbial Pathogenesis in Alzheimer’s Disease Grant program. Since the program was established in 2018, the IDSA Foundation has provided more than $600,000 to seven researchers, making the 2020 awardees the largest recipient pool to date. The program will provide an additional pilot grant of $8,000 to begin research and initial data collection for a dementia study in Uganda.

Study monitors spatial shifts of liver gene expression in relationship to the circadian clock
Nothing in biology is static. Biological processes fluctuate over time, and if we are to put together an accurate picture of cells, tissues, organs etc., we have to take into account their temporal patterns. In fact, this effort has given rise to an entire field of study known as chronobiology .
The liver is a prime example. Everything we eat or drink is eventually processed there to separate nutrients from waste and regulate the body s metabolic balance. In fact, the liver as a whole is extensively time-regulated, and this pattern is orchestrated by the so-called circadian clock, our body s internal metronome, as well as biochemical signals and eating rhythms.
SINGAPORE -The fight against Covid-19 shows international collaboration is crucial if the world wants to continue making scientific breakthroughs, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat told young scientists at a global virtual summit on Tuesday (Jan 12).
He said sharing the virus genome with the global community had allowed various diagnostic test kits to be developed quickly and led to the creation of safe and effective vaccines in record time. We must build on the positive momentum of collaboration in the fight against Covid-19 and redouble our efforts to work in stronger partnership - across disciplines, across borders, and across industries, academia and governments, he said in the pre-recorded opening address at the 2021 Global Young Scientists Summit.
