Bix, Engler-Chiurazzi awarded $2.3 million for study

Tulane University has been awarded a $2.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study how COVID-19 and dementia are linked and whether a drug used to treat cancer can help stem cognitive decline. 

Dr. Gregory Bix and his collaborators, Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD, of Tulane School of Medicine, and Tione Buranda, PhD, of the University of New Mexico, will study cognitive decline in COVID-19 patients with pre-existing vascular dementia (VaD) and animal models of the disease to investigate a link between the two and potential therapies.
