The Latest & Greatest in the Race for an Alzheimer’s Cure

Just how close are we to a cure for Alzheimer’s? During this interactive webinar, our experts Mikey Hoag, Founder of Part the Cloud and Heather Snyder, Ph.D., Vice President of Medical and Scientific Relations at the Alzheimer’s Association give you an inside look at the latest and greatest research projects that are in development in the race to end Alzheimer’s.

Listen in as they discuss their partnership over the last decade to fuel high risk, high reward Alzheimer’s research. Founded in 2012, Part the Cloud funds research grants that are specifically intended to move treatments through early phase clinical trials in humans. In just ten years, Part the Cloud has raised more than $65 million and currently funds 65 human trials across the globe. These projects have gone on to receive more than $1 billion in additional funding from other sources.

Mikey Hoag is the Founder of Part the Cloud, the highly successful Alzheimer’s research fundraiser that takes place in Silicon Valley every year. After losing her father to early-onset Alzheimer’s, Mikey Hoag founded Part the Cloud in 2012 with the goal to educate, fundraise and to accelerate critically needed Alzheimer’s disease research. She realized that her personal story could have the power to rally people around the Alzheimer’s cause, so she partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association and a steering committee of women affected by the disease to launch the first Part the Cloud Gala
