Hosted by Everythingals.org.

Our speaker, Paul Allan Cox, from Brain Chemistry Labs, will share his journey that led to discovery of L-Serine as a potential drug for ALS. https://brainchemistrylabs.org/lserine

As one of the world’s leading ethnobotanists, Dr. Paul Alan Cox has lived in remote island villages searching for new medicines. He was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize, sometimes known as the Nobel Prize of the Environment and was named one of TIME magazine’s eleven “Heroes of Medicine” for his discovery of the HIV drug prostratin.

His conservation foundation, Seacology, has set aside over 1.5 million acres of rain forest and coral reef in 60 countries around the world. Cox was both a Danforth Fellow and a National Science Foundation Fellow at Harvard where he received his Ph.D. He currently serves as the Executive Director of the Brain Chemistry Labs in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a nonprofit charity focused on finding new treatments for ALS and Alzheimer’s disease.
