While there are many antiseizure drugs on the market for epilepsy, little information is available to compare the effectiveness of these therapies with older populations. Furthermore, researchers are starting to see that seizures and epilepsy are frequently present among those with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Melissa\u2019s research aims to better understand this relationship so that one can investigate how antiseizure medications could affect the health of the Alzheimer\u2019s disease patient population.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row section vc_row-fluid \">\n<div class=\" full_section_inner clearfix\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_circle vc_box_border_grey\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row section vc_row-fluid \">\n<div class=\" full_section_inner clearfix\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\">Preclinical antiseizure drug development is predominately conducted in rodent seizure and epilepsy models. \u00a0Melissa studies the impact of seizures on a mouse model of familial early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Human patients with familial early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s disease begin to show neurodegenerative symptoms in mid-life (40- to 50-years-old). By extending her experiment a few months, Melissa was able to collect pilot data when the mice were of a physiological age that more closely reflects when symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s disease are likely to be show up in humans.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe know that people with Alzheimer\u2019s are having these seizures, but we don\u2019t know how it effects their outcomes\u201d<br \/>\n\u2013Dr. Melissa Barker-Haliski, UW School of Pharmacy<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With ITHS funds, she can take a closer look to engage this question by collecting essential data. &#8220;Without Catalyst funds, I would not have been able to age the animals to the time point that was most relevant to Alzheimer\u2019s disease, she remarked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\">The experiment would have simply ended before the mice could reach that pivotal age. \u201cThis support has been very useful to the launch of my independent research.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Melissa used this data to submit an application for further funding through the UW Royal Research Fund. Her newly-funded research will examine how chronic seizures in a similar cohort of mice with the Alzheimer\u2019s disease-associated genetic mutation will impact cognition. She will demonstrate how chronic seizures affect the development of symptoms associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. This data can then be compared to cognitive performance of age-matched mice who have not had chronic seizures. With an improved understanding of how seizures impact the evolution of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, further study can be conducted on ways to treat the disease\u2019s symptoms, and someday even slow its escalation.<\/p>\n<p>The Catalyst award is intended to instigate new research directions and encourage further study in a given area. According to Dr. Barker-Haliski, this is precisely what has happened: \u201cthe initial ITHS funded project has been instrumental in furthering my work \u2013 I have been using this pilot data to submit grants left and right.\u201d Working with ITHS has also enabled Melissa to deepen her capacity for collaboration with other departments on campus; by publishing this data, the research team can continue to pursue larger grants that will likely inform on the therapeutic management of seizures in Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iths.org\/blog\/news\/funding\/pilot-awards\/catalyzing-new-research-in-alzheimers-disease\/\">Original story<\/a> published on the Institute for Translational Health Sciences website and shared with here with permission.<\/p>\n<h4>Advance your career in scientific and outcomes\u00a0research at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy.
