Timeline

1965

Lindsay H. Burns (born 1965) is an American neuroscientist and rower who won a silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics.

She is a senior vice president of the pharmaceutical company Cassava Sciences and married to its CEO Remi Barbier.

As of July 2022, Cassava Sciences and papers published by Burns are under investigation; Cassava denies any wrongdoing.

Burns was born in 1965 and raised in Big Timber, Montana.

1987

She graduated from Harvard University in 1987.

In 1987, she rowed in the Radcliffe varsity crew and won the Eastern Association of Women's Rowing Colleges (EAWRC) championship that awarded her the Ivy title and the EAWRC League title.

She was part of the US rowing team from 1987 and from 1990–1996.

Competing in the lightweight category at six World Rowing Championships, she won four medals: gold at the 1987; silvers in the double in 1990 and 1991; and bronze in the double in 1994.

1988

Her first paper in 1988, written with Ann E. Kelley, reported that neurokinin A in the ventral tegmental area modifies dopamine circuits to induce behavioral changes.

She continued her PhD research on the role of dopamine and the limbic system.

During her post-doc at McLean Hospital, she focused on neurodegenerative diseases, specifically, transplantation of pig neural cells into rat brain as a possible treatment of Parkinson's or Huntington's disease.

Further research indicated possible use in humans.

While working for a biotech company later acquired by Elan Pharmaceuticals, she published the effects of ziconotide in a rat model of spinal cord ischemia.

1991

In 1991, she obtained a PhD in neuroscience from University of Cambridge on a thesis titled Functional interactions of limbic afferents to the striatum and mesolimbic dopamine in reward-related processes, which was supervised by Barry Everitt and Trevor Robbins.

Burns worked as a research fellow in psychobiology at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts.

1992

She was an alternate rower at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

1995

She won a silver medal at the 1995 Pan American Games competing in the quad sculls (heavyweight) category and she won the European Rowing Championships at Lucerne in 1995 with Teresa Bell.

1996

She teamed up again with Teresa Bell at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States, and won a silver medal in the Lightweight Double Sculls.

2002

She joined Cassava Sciences in 2002 and became senior vice president of neuroscience in 2021.

Burns is married to Remi Barbier, the CEO and founder of Cassava Sciences.

Burns started competitive rowing soon after entering Harvard.

2005

In 2005, she published a series of papers on Oxytrex and related research with ultra-low doses of certain (opioid antagonists) to enhance analgesia and prevent opioid-induced hyperalgesia, opioid tolerance and substance dependence.

2006

In 2006, she was inducted into the Harvard Sports Hall of Fame.

Since 2006, Burns has collaborated with Hoau-Yan Wang at the City University of New York, who had been investigating Alzheimer's disease.

Previously identifying filamin A (FLNA) for its role in regulating opioid receptor signaling, Burns and Wang then identified FLNA as a critical protein in enabling Abeta42's signaling through the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor to induce Alzheimer's disease pathology.

2008

In 2008, Burns, Wang and Maya Frankfurt published in PLOS One a finding that the opioid antagonists naloxone and naltrexone bind with ultra-high affinity to FLNA to prevent mu opioid receptor excitatory signaling.

Burns and Wang identified the binding site on FLNA and the activation of CREB by opioid receptor – Gs coupling in the same journal the next year.

FLNA is a cytoplasmic protein that maintains normal cell shape and division.

2010

In 2010, Burns and Wang announced a novel analgesic" which they named PTI-609 (PTI for Pain Therapeutics, Inc., the former name of Cassava Sciences) and stated that the molecule binds to FLNA as well as activating mu opioid receptors.

2012

In 2012, they published in The Journal of Neuroscience a novel compound PTI-125 that binds to FLNA similarly to naloxone and naltrexone.

With PTI-125, they stated that FLNA aberrantly links to the alpha 7 nicotinic receptor, enabling signaling of Abeta42 to hyperphosphorylate tau.

2016

In 2016, she was inducted into the National Rowing Foundation Hall of Fame.

Burns's first research was on the effect of neurokinin A on brain functions in rats.

2017

In 2017, they reported in Neurobiology of Aging that the FLNA in Alzheimer's disease transgenic mice and human postmortem brain tissue has an altered conformation (based on a shift in isoelectric focusing) and that PTI-125 binding to altered FLNA restores its normal shape, thereby reducing tau hyperphosphorylation, amyloid deposits and tau-containing lesions in the brains of the mice.

2020

The United States Adopted Names (USAN) gave the drug name for PTI-125 as simufilam in 2020; as of 2022, it is in Phase III clinical trials.

As of July 2022, Cassava Sciences and papers published by Burns and Wang are under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department; Cassava denies any wrongdoing.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), and City University of New York (CUNY) were also investigating allegations of manipulated data.

In October 2023, CUNY reported that they could obtain none of Wang's original data, which meant that they were unable to either prove or disprove allegations that the images were improperly manipulated.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the CUNY report stated that Burns shared with Wang some responsibility "for errors and misconduct".
