There are certain great
researchers that have given substantial knowledge regarding the most perilous
diseases to the world. Among these a very prominent name that comes immediately
to one’s mind is that of Michael Mullan.
He is a well known scientist and
researcher in the fields of molecular genetics and dementia. He is a renowned personality in the zone of neurosciences and has
number of research papers authored by him.
Gaining an insight into
the life of Michael Mullan
Michael Mullan acquired
training as a physician in England
obtaining his medical degree from London University. Then he completed PhD in
Molecular Genetics from the same university. He was the author of the research
papers illustrating the genetic disorders that cause early onset Alzheimer’s disease. He has co-written
over more than 200 papers on this disease and its associated disorders. He is
currently serving as the CEO and President of Roskamp Institute which is
financially aided by several agencies including Department of Defense, National
Institutes of Health (NIH), etc. He along with a group of neuroscientists at
the Roskamp Institute has invented a Brain Reserve Index that is used to
determine the risk of developing this disease of Alzheimer. He is also the
President of Sci-Brain that incorporates a new concept of ameliorating the
brain fitness owing to the relationships between physical and mental health using
Brain or cognitive reserve.

Institute of Florida
This institute is located
at Michael Mullan Sarasota in Florida. It is these days testing
Nilvadipine, a medical drug which is claimed to cure early onset of the disease
of Alzheimer. This is an anti-hyper intensive drug and is considered as a
potential treatment for this disease. The founder of this institution is Bob
Roskamp. It is dedicated towards researching for cure to neurologically
degenerative diseases. Moreover, funding is provided here towards incurable
diseases such as HIV and cancer. Along with Dr. Mullan, this institute is also
contributing towards finding out cures and preventive treatment methods for
such diseases.
Recently, Dr. Mullan at
this institute proclaimed to the students and other people in the audience that

this ailment yet the risks of acquiring it can be minimized by various means
such as playing memory games, eating green vegetables, consuming large amount
of water and milk, etc.
It can be deduced from
above that Dr. Mullan has made a remarkable contribution in the area of
neurological diseases and their treatment methods. He has completely devoted
his life to the research in the field of mutation, molecular genetics and
ailments concerning brain. He is really very intelligent and at the same time
extremely amicable personality.
