Bill Gates and Alzheimer's

Since a few longs suggested that BG’s Foundation could be the anonymous sponsor of our Alzheimer’s trial I googled Gate’s personal connection to A. and his foundation investments to find a cure. Here’s a few quick facts.

Quote:
Gates has focused his philanthropy largely on some of the most intractable health problems, such as malaria, HIV/AIDS and childhood vaccination. In recent years, he has turned to Alzheimer’s disease, starting with diagnostics and more recently expanding to proteomics and healthcare programs related to the disease. Scientific American Custom Media asked him about Alzheimer’s:

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN CUSTOM MEDIA:
What sparked your interest in Alzheimer’s? How has your personal experience with the disease contributed to your decision to get involved?

Gates: Like many people, I have a personal connection to Alzheimer’s. My dad died from Alzheimer’s, so I understand first-hand what a cruel disease it is, and how difficult it can be to watch a loved one suffer with it. We were fortunate to have the resources to provide my dad with excellent care, and our family is grateful for the wonderful caregivers who helped him in the 13 years he lived with the disease. But for the majority of families battling Alzheimer’s, this is not an option. Caregiving most often falls to a spouse or a child, which can be overwhelming.


From AI search on funding A. research

Quote:
Gates has supported Alzheimer's research in several ways, including:
Funding research: Gates has pledged around $100 million to fight Alzheimer's, including:
Part the Cloud: A partnership with the Alzheimer's Association to fund research on neurodegeneration that contributes to Alzheimer's

Dementia Discovery Fund: A fund that receives half of Gates’ donation

Supporting the Diagnostics Accelerator: A fund that invests in candidates to develop new diagnostics, including apps that use augmented reality games

Supporting the Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiative (ADDI): Gates believes that data could be key to stopping Alzheimer's
