Governor Charlie Crist visits Roskamp Institute

Filed under: news — Tags: , , , — Gogce Crynen @ 1:28 pm

Governor Charlie Crist visited our Institute on Thursday, and was briefed about the most recent scientific breakthroughs that have occurred at the Institute, followed by a full tour of the laboratories.  Impressed with what he saw, Gov. Crist referred to the Institute as “Florida’s best-kept scientific secret.”

Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic in Florida, and the Governor and Senatorial candidate was receptive to concerns raised by Institute scientists regarding future funding opportunities for Alzheimer’s research. There is currently no State funding for Alzheimer’s research in Florida, despite this state being one of the hardest hit by this devastating disease.  When such funds once more become available it is hoped that they will be distributed using a peer-review process (as used for State funding of Cancer research) so that the tax payers receive most “bang for their buck” with the best research programs receiving the funding.

The visit underscores the growing prominence of the Roskamp Institute within the Sarasota/Manatee community and greater local recognition for the Institute’s nationally and internationally recognized contributions to research progress in Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer and other disorders. Gov. Crist also discussed the Institute’s research programs that are of critical importance to the military and veterans populations – Traumatic Brain Injury, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Gulf War Illness.  He was also interested in the innovative Ph.D. program now flourishing at Roskamp, as well as the Institute’s for-profit spin off, Archer Pharmaceuticals.

Gov. Crist’s visit was the most recent in a series of high-profile visits to the Institute, which have included visits from Senator Bill Nelson and Congressman C. W. Bill Young.  James Humphrey, Roskamp COO was encouraged by the visit, as it was yet another means by which the the Institute can “reach out into the public domain” and raise awareness of the scope of research being conducted in the Sarasota/Manatee area
