Read about the latest achievements at Neurodon, which uses Calcium ATPase research to develop treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more.

Dr. Dahl has co-authored over 80 scientific publications and is an inventor on over 50 patent applications. For more than a decade, his focus has been on intracellular calcium regulation and Calcium ATPase.  He is one of the top experts in the country.

Currently, Dr. Dahl is the CEO and scientific founder of Neurodon, a privately held biotech company that specializes in developing drugs that target cellular health. 

Dr. Russell Dahl

He has identified a small molecule Calcium ATPase (SERCA) stimulator which has been shown in animal studies that improves memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s, reduces dyskinesia in Parkinson’s, control blood sugar in diabetes, and improves cardiac function in heart failure.

DR.Russel Dahl's Research

After coming across Dr. Dahl’s journal articles during her research, Brunde contacted Dr. Dahl and they quickly developed a meaningful relationship centered around their mutual knowledge and passion for Calcium ATPase.  They have since jointed efforts to promote the education of both the public at large and the medical community regarding Calcium ATPase, in addition to the development of drugs to target this enzyme. 

 

Dr. Dahl serves as a medical advisor and editor for the book and Brunde serves on the board of directors at Neurodon.  Both hope to reduce suffering and save many lives through their efforts.
