Data-sharing breeds Alzheimer's progress - FierceBiotech

Data-sharing breeds Alzheimer's progress - FierceBiotech: "A 2003 venture to bring together the NIH, FDA, industry, universities and nonprofits is paying dividends for Alzheimer's biomarker research. There have been advancements in using imaging for early disease detection, and about 100 clinical studies are in progress for Alzheimer's. The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, as it is called, doesn't just raise money or conduct trials: one of the major goals when the group first set out in 2003 was to share information. All data on the projects is shared immediately, and anyone with a computer can access the information. No one company will benefit from the data."
