MCLAUGHLIN RESEARCH INSTITUTE
FOR BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES
CHAMBER MEMBER FEATURE
Just beyond the Rocky Mountain Front, nestled among the river
bottoms and sweeping plains of Central Montana, the McLaughlin
Research Institute for Biomedical Sciences has been delivering
cutting-edge science to the world since 1954.
Ushered by a deep history of revered scientists, the Institute
team has pioneered discoveries that have affected global impacts
on human and brain health. It began with the recruitment of
a physician scientist, Dr. Ernst Eichwald, whose work in the
Laboratory for Experimental Medicine (as the Institute was then
known) focused on the young field of tissue transplantation. With
a shared vision to bring transformative medical advancement to
every corner of the planet, our scientists believed then and believe
and know now that they can change lives, and work toward that
with pride and dedication.
The Institute hosts an esteemed collective of scientists and
prestigious partners who facilitate complementary approaches to
addressing degenerative nerve diseases, including Alzheimer's
and other dementias, Parkinson's, prion diseases, ALS, age-
related macular degeneration, chronic wasting disease and more.
This diversity of research and synergetic cooperation results in a
holistic understanding of neurodegeneration and shared passion
