Purpose
The Channel Islands Alzheimer’s Institute (CI-AI) provides interdisciplinary experiential learning opportunities in the area of Alzheimer’s disease drug discovery for CSU Channel Islands faculty and undergraduate and graduate students
The Long-Term Objectives of the Channel Islands Alzheimer’s Institute are the following:
- To develop research excellence in Alzheimer’s disease drug discovery.
- To secure CSU system (CSUPERB), state, and federal grant and contract funding to support the research activities performed by AI-CI.
- To develop community relationships facilitating directed donations to CI-AI through the CSUCI Foundation.
- To publish research and patent intellectual property developed by AI-CI.
- To license intellectual property and secure revenues that will benefit AI-CI and CSUCI, in accordance with the CSUCI Intellectual Property policy.
The Short-Term Objectives of the Channel Islands Alzheimer’s Institute are the following:
- To establish Alzheimer’s disease research on the campus using “conditioned extracts” obtained through “chemical conditioning” of natural materials (Figure 1).
- To remodel a small research laboratory for use by the Channel Islands Alzheimer’s Institute.
- To obtain chemical separation and analysis equipment and biological compound purification equipment for the research lab that could be used both by CI-AI and by university faculty in their Chemistry and Biology courses.
- To develop an archived collection of novel drug-like compounds for biological testing obtained from purified conditioned extracts.
- To allow companies the opportunity to pay royalties to obtain access to the diversity of molecules in the archived 96-well plate extracts for screening in their own assays for the desired biological activity.
- To secure funding from a range of public and private sources to support the research of the Channel Islands Alzheimer’s Institute.
