The Gladstone Institutes is an independent and nonprofit
biomedical research organization whose focus is to better understand,
prevent, treat and cure cardiovascular, viral and neurological
conditions such as
heart failure,
HIV/AIDS and
Alzheimer's disease.
Gladstone researchers study these diseases using techniques of basic and translational science.
Another focus at Gladstone is building on the
stem cell breakthrough of one of its investigators, 2012 Nobel Laureate
Shinya Yamanaka, to improve drug discovery, personalized medicine and tissue regeneration.
