Rishton developed the idea for the Alzheimer's Initiative last August while he was teaching part-time at CSUCI and still working at Amgen.
But Rishton said he knew when he was studying chemistry in the 1980s in his home state of Rhode Island that he wanted to work with central nervous system diseases and Alzheimer's.
Rishton sought the help of Philip Hampton, a professor in CSUCI's chemistry program, about the possibility of creating a nonprofit organization in conjunction with the CSUCI foundation that students could participate in.

 Edward Rishton
He was probably a younger son of John Rishton of Dunkenhalgh and Dorothy Southworth.
After his death the book on the schism was published by Father Persons, and subsequent editions included two tracts attributed to Rishton, the one a diary of an anonymous priest in the Tower (1580-5), which was probably the work of Father John Hart, S.J.; the other a list of martyrs with later additions by Persons.
Recent publication of the "Tower Bills" makes it certain that Rishton did not write the diary, and his only other known works are a tract on the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism (Douai, 1575) and "Profession of his faith made manifest and confirmed by twenty-one reasons".
