All about
the Great Researcher
Biomedical researcher Michael Mullan
has conducted Alzheimer’s disease which was based on the identification of the
Swedish Mutation which is present in the familial form. This person is trained
in England as a physician and received his medical degree in 1995 and PhD in
molecular genetics from London University. Currently he is working as a CEO and
the president of the Roskamp Institute. He has published more than 200 papers.
He had conducted the important
medical research in neurodegenerative disorders. He is a very
experienced person and is also imparting knowledge on the subject dementia. He
is working in research centers and medical institutions too.
Fighting Alzheimer’s Disease
It was a very great study by him
at Roskamp Institute at Sarasota Florida in which he discovered that that all
the disorders which are genetic are found to be in amyloidal genes. The whole
of this research was basically based on the Amyloid and now is categorized as a
very important part of the Alzheimer’s disease. It is also found that
this disease is commonly found at the ages of 50 to 70. All the studies which
were conducted followed by a result that the small protein amyloid when
accumulates can contribute to the series of things which can lead to cognitive
declination and degeneration.
The research was going-on on mice
which had the errors in it like a human who is on the early stage of the
disorder called Alzheimer. This study on the mice has gave the researchers an idea about how a
small protein called amyloid can cause disorder
and can lead to the death of neurons. Many of the pharmaceutical labs
and academic labs have this kind of mice. So they used to test many such drugs
on the mice which can prevent them from this disease. Just to give a solution
to this problem, many researches were conducted. This disease actually came
from a family of a woman Carol Jennings from England. Her family had this
genetic problem in which fifty percent that is half of the off springs who used
to take birth in their family were having this disease at an early stage. And
then she started for the search of the people who were interested to carry on
the research on Alzheimer’s disease. By doing this she not only helped her
family but also helped the people who were suffering from this disease.
At all the positions on which
Michael Mullan worked, he made efforts to research on the cure of
neurodegenerative disorders for the long-term.
The Roskamp institute at which he
worked was always working on the fact that they wanted to understand the causes
and the perfect cures for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and
the kind of addictions that happens due to that. This institute had utilized
all the range of scientific and technological approaches, so that they can
understand its causes and the kind of various therapies for curing this
disorder with the emphasis laid on the Alzheimer’s disease.
