We’re proud to announce the launch of the first Brain Health Collaboratory, a partnership between the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute and Cognito Therapeutics.

This pioneering model integrates clinical care, AI-powered research, and real-world data to accelerate the discovery and delivery of non-drug neurotherapies for Alzheimer’s and other neurological conditions.

A key aspect of this initiative is Spectris™, Cognito’s investigational, non-invasive neuroprotective device designed for at-home use and showing promise in preserving brain structure and function.

The WVU Brain Health Collaboratory is the first in a planned national network that will bring together leading academic medical centers to create a proactive, data-driven infrastructure for brain health from the clinic to the community.

“You want to be able to continue to pay it forward and show others that you understand what it’s like. In this journey, there are so many people you don’t even know helping you along the way. It’s truly what West Virginians have always done for one another: We support our own in the hard times.” - Jamie Cooper Moales

“Since Sara’s death, I have made it my mission to honor her life and memory, and like many others with this shared experience, fight back against the disease that took her from us far too soon."
