The Brain Chemistry Labs Approach

As a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, our mission is to discover new cures from plants. With a state-of-the art laboratory in Jackson, we have assembled a team of researchers who are working tirelessly to find and fight causes of disease and to search for new cures from plants.

Current and past projects of the Institute include:

  • Development of L-serine as a possible new drug for neurodegenerative diseases. » More

  • Studying cyanobacterial toxins throughout the world. » More

  • Discovery of the many benefits of L-serine, a naturally occurring amino acid. » More

  • Development of biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of AD and ALS. » More

  • Development of treatment for glioblastoma. » More

  • Discovery of prostratin for HIV/AIDS. » More

Our International Consortium of Scientists

Key to innovation and discovery at the Brain Chemistry Labs is our 50 scientist consortium. Top scientists from 28 universities in 12 countries have been recruited to collaborate in our research. They are world leaders in a variety of disciplines including ethnobotany, neurology, physiology, epidemiology, oceanography, neuroanatomy, molecular biology, inorganic chemistry, physics, microbiology, ecology, and synthetic chemistry.
