Project Overview

We know that Alzheimer's disease is caused by the clumping together of misfolded proteins in the brain, specifically two proteins called amyloid beta and tau. We know that new antibody treatments for Alzheimer’s disease target the surface of clumps of amyloid beta and remove the clumps from the brain. Unfortunately,…
