PROJECT NARRATIVE
Cognitive impairment, and specifically Alzheimer’s disease, represents one of the most
significant healthcare problems in the aging population of the United States, and development of
effective therapy will be facilitated by understanding its underlying mechanisms. We are
studying a protein called synaptobrevin1/VAMP1 and present strong argument for the
association of VAMP1 to Alzheimer’s disease, which has public health relevance. After
completion of the proposed research we will have developed a new model that offer insight into
the mechanism and potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease leading to dementia in the
elderly, thus the proposed research is aligned with the mission of NIH that pertains to
developing fundamental knowledge that will help reduce the burdens of human disability.
