Scripps Florida scientist receives $5 million grant

Ron Davis, chairman of the Department of Neuroscience at Scripps Florida in Jupiter, has been awarded a $5 million grant, one of the first of its kind, by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the National Institutes of Health.

The grant focuses on the processes that underlie memory formation, targeting the brain mechanisms that mediate forgetfulness, how the brain organizes memories and the role for genes that suppress memory formation.

Scripps said the grant is fully funded for the first five years. At the end of the fifth year, an administrative review of the program’s progress will decide on an additional three-year renewal.

Davis, who specializes in the study of memory formation, particularly how the brain actively forgets certain memories, will be the principal investigator.

“This new type of grant will fund our research program, not just one single project,” Davis said. “It will help us build on what we’ve accomplished over the last 10 years.”

Eventually, Scripps hopes to develop a drug based on its research. comprehensive AM offering,” Allan said. “I am fortunate to join such an innovative company that has dedicated itself to the highest standards in the industry.”

Doug Hedges, Sintavia’s president and chief operations officer, said: “Carolyn’s experience with OEMs has made her a significant addition to Sintavia. We view her appointment as a sign of our continued commitment to being the global leader in the AM industry.

“As Sintavia has become the independent benchmark for companies in additive manufacturing, and with increased demand for our participation in the AM community, we are fortunate to find someone of Carolyn’scaliber to convey Sintavia’s unique value proposition.”
