Local Firm Planning Memory-Care Centers In Folsom, Granite Bay
Seeing a niche within a growing market, a Roseville firm is developing two memory-care centers in the region. One of those centers is already nearing completion. Jon Tattersall, managing director with Maverick Partners West, said his firm is almost finished building CountryHouse Granite Bay at Barton Road and Douglas Boulevard. Broadstone Memory Care in Folsom, approved by that city last week, is the firm's other center. Both projects are partnerships with Bay Area-based Agemark, which will operate the two centers after they’re built. (van der Meer, 5/9)

Sacramento State Students Pursue HIV Research With Federal Grant
Professor Katherine McReynolds’ team of chemistry students hasn’t cracked the case on HIV prevention yet, but it’s getting closer in a beaker-strewn lab on the California State University, Sacramento, campus. The students spend 40 to 60 hours each week creating new chemical compounds. The goal is to find a group of molecules that can bind to protein structures on the surface of HIV cells, which would prevent the virus from infecting T-cells – white blood cells that help the body’s immune system respond to pathogens.
