Children who are diagnosed with rapidly progressing type 1 diabetes have very few of these cells but children with less severe diabetes have almost normal numbers. More recently Ballad scientists have found that the cells they have discovered have the capacity to actively modulate inflammation. This is important because diabetes is an inflammatory disease and this might explain why having few of these cells is associated with worse disease. The next step in their research is to understand how to make more of these cells as a way of slowing progression, or reversing this devastating disease. Neurological DisordersScientists at Ballad are working to understand how neurological disorders in people infected with HIV persist, in spite of treatment with antiretroviral drugs that control the infection. It also examines how cannabis use might be helpful in preventing neurological disorders in this population by strengthening blood vessel walls to prevent harmful inflammatory cells from migrating into the brain and by improving mobilization of drugs into the brain. It is hoped that these studies will lead to novel therapies to prevent neurological damage in people with HIV, as well as in other neurological disorders linked to aging and metabolic syndrome. 364346 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 0 false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true true false false false CA X JOANNA DAVIES 8582007156 3525 John Hopkins Ct STE 200 SAN DIEGO CA 92121 X JOANNA DAVIES CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SHEILA FERGUSON Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Hargreaves member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 361380 361380 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 361380 0 0 0 0 0 0 95932 95932 8558 8558 14334 14334 10251 10251 0 0 2725 2725 0 0 0 0 0 0 5250 4987 263 0 45594 43314 2280 2087 2087 0 0 0 0 5265 5001 264 0 LAB SUPPLIES 173912 173912 MINOR EQUIPMENT 5970 5970 OTHER EXPENSES 4640 4640 0 374518 364346 10172 0 56845 2739 0 0 570 5406 0 0 0 0 344452 334964 15796 10909 10152 4887 0 0 0 0 0 412019 347996 5270 342683 311528 50000 25000 392683 341798 X 19336 6198 19336 6198 412019 347996 -13138 X false false false X 102 101189 289346 497451 361380 1249468 0 0 102 101189 289346 497451 361380 1249468 0 1249468 0 0 0 1249468 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15796 10909 4887 4887 SAN DIEGO BIOMEDICAL RESE Indirect advance X 347426 false true false 347426 SAN DIEGO BIOMEDICAL RESE Indirect - CEO 374173 reimbursement of expenses false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b FORM 990, ITS ACCOMPANYING SCHEDULES AND STATEMENTS, AND ITS CORRESPONDING STATEINFORMATION RETURN ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ADVANCE OF FILING.
