Program areas at The Bluefield Project to Cure Frontotemporal Dementia

The Bluefield Project is an effort to find a treatment or cure for frontotemporal dementia (FTD) by funding FTD-related research. By privately funding basic, translational and clinical FTD-related research, the donor group that established The Bluefield Project has significantly increased the number of labs studying FTD. The Consortium for Frontotemporal Dementia Research, funded in part by The Bluefield Project, applies a business model to research by incentivizing the sharing of data and reagents, thereby accelerating discovery. FTD encompasses a group of complex neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive deterioration of the frontotemporal lobes and resultant loss of decision-making abilities and control of behavior, emotion, and language.
