Chris VanRyzin and Mary-Kay Baum, Founders of forMemory, both Chris and Mary-Kay have collaborated on the establishment of a database to investigate the cognitive function, diagnoses, symptoms, treatments and health of people with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other types of memory loss to spotlight early symptoms, patterns and potential treatments that may have been overlooked.

Bob Hauser, Ph.D. and Tess Hauser, Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. Have collaborated on the genotyping and analysis of WLS samples.

Barbara K. Vonderhaar, Ph.D., Chief, Mammary Biology and Tumorigenesis Laboratory, and Head, Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology Section. Dr. Vonderhaar has collaborated on the identification of autocrine/paracrine feedback loops wihtin the brain for the synthesis of neurosteroids. Dr. Vonderhaar's research was the first to purify a prolactin receptor from any source and the first to characterize a monoclonal antibody directed against the human prolactin receptor. She was also the first to demonstrate that human breast cancer cells synthesize and secrete significant amounts of biologically active prolactin. She serves as Chief of the Mammary Biology and Tumorigenesis Laboratory, Co-Chair of the Breast and Gynecologic Malignancies Faculty and Co-Chair of the Intramural Program for Research on Women's Health. Dr. Vonderhaar is a member of the Senior Biomedical Research Service.
