Better understanding neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and prion related diseases

Caring for people who have Alzheimer's disease and related types of dementia is a family tradition. One of my first childhood memories is helping my father, who was a renowned Alzheimer's researcher and neuropathologist, conduct research. My mother was a pediatric neurologist who made significant contributions to the field. Their work inspired me to pursue a career in neurology and neuropathology.
