Harnessing Diverse Bioinformatic Approaches To Repurpose Drugs For Alzheimers Disease And Related Dementias

US National Institute on Aging grant open #nih-3R01AG058063-08S2

Summary

Abstract The exploration of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes derived from brains with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by powerful computational tools has developed new knowledge, including the identification of pathways and targets that may be involved in the initiation and/or progression of the disease. The challenge is to find drugs that impact those pathways and then validate the importance of those pathways – distinguishing primary disease drivers from secondary events. Repurposing FDA-approved drugs is one approach to probe potential pathways in proof of concept, and ultimately therapeutic
