Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in News.

ALBANY — Congressman Paul Tonko this week announced that Early Alzheimer’s Diagnostics LLC of Glenmont has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant totaling $274,713 for a project to develop saliva screening tests that can detect Alzheimer’s disease before the onset of devastating symptoms such as memory loss.

“Far too many Americans have experienced the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s. Early diagnosis can have a major impact on ensuring access to treatments and vastly improving quality of life for patients and their families,” Tonko said, in a statement. 

Earlier this year, the congressman announced a $306,974 award for Early Alzheimer’s Diagnostics to support research on new screenings based on blood spectroscopy.
