COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society specializing in scientific content and knowledge management, and Cleveland Clinic, an academic health system with a global footprint, announced plans for a strategic collaboration that will unite the organizations' unique expertise, technology, and data capabilities to fuel clinical research.
During the Cleveland Discovery & Innovation Forum, an event highlighting cutting-edge healthcare and life sciences research, the two global organizations announced that their collaboration's first strategic focus area will be aiming to advance research on health, wellness, and healthy aging. Initial projects the organizations are discussing will focus on drug discovery for brain health, a priority underscored by the relative lack of effective, disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's due to the complex nature of the disease.
"This unique collaboration leverages Cleveland Clinic's expertise in biomedical research and clinical care with CAS leadership in scientific data and technology," said Lara Jehi, M.D., Cleveland Clinic Chief Research Information Officer. "By combining our strengths, we aim to create high-quality medical data, validate scientific models, and integrate research to ultimately enhance patient care and chronic disease management."
The effort will harness the CAS Content Collectionâ„¢, the world's most comprehensive curated scientific information resource, with advanced technologies, including new AI models and quantum computing. As part of its partnership with IBM, Cleveland Clinic houses an IBM Quantum System One, the world's first quantum computer fully dedicated to healthcare research.
The collaborators plan to build and train disease-specific models, starting with Alzheimer's, focused on advancing preventative and predictive strategies, and potentially translating them to other chronic diseases in the future.
"CAS is delighted to partner with Cleveland Clinic, an institution renowned for its exceptional research and innovation," said Manuel Guzman, CAS President. "Recognizing it takes 17 years for a scientific discovery in a lab to become an approved test or therapy, we are confident that together, we can close that gap. Led by our shared goal of improving people's lives through scientific innovation, we will combine high-quality content, subject expertise, and advanced technologies to discover new paths to healthy aging and drive positive social and economic impacts."
The initiative will benefit from the Cleveland Innovation District, which brings the State of Ohio and JobsOhio together with Cleveland's healthcare and higher education institutions to create jobs, accelerate research, and educate the future workforce.

The agreement aims to support Vietnam's participation in the WorldSkills competition.
Under this agreement, HD Construction Equipment will assist with the entire process—from training to competition entry—for the Vietnamese national representative competing in the Heavy Vehicle Maintenance category at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, scheduled for this September.
The company plans to offer comprehensive technical training to Nguyen Xuan Khanh, who was selected as the national representative last year. Furthermore, the company will cover all expenses related to this training, including airfare, registration fees, and accommodation, in order to create an optimal environment for the competitor to maximize his performance.
In July of last year, HD Construction Equipment signed an MOU with CCT1, which includes the Green and Smart Construction Equipment Talent Project. This initiative is part of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)'s inclusive business program. The collaboration aims to support the development of smart equipment in Vietnam and to create localized training curricula.
The company has deepened its commitment to Vietnam through a series of key initiatives, including hosting government officials and instructors for training in October, supporting national skills trials in November, and awarding scholarships.
An official from HD Construction Equipment stated, "This collaboration is not just a one-time event; it is part of our commitment to sustainable, locally integrated business practices. We will continue to foster Vietnam's young technical talents, helping them compete on the global stage."
