A Nobel Laureate Turning 90 Continues to Churn Out Ideas for New Drugs
“Paul Greengard has been busy. In August he co-authored a paper on molecules that appear to regulate genes that might protect against Parkinson’s. That same month he took the lead on another paper that describes a protein that plays a key role in producing the toxic peptide implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. He followed that up in September with a study laying out evidence for what could become a new class of antidepressants. On Friday, he will pause for a few hours as he celebrates his 90th birthday.”
