There are many old people who suffer from Alzheimer disease. In fact, with the changing lifestyles and
stressful living, this problem is on the increase. There are so many people who
suffer from memory loss, which is also popularly known as Dementia. The people
slowly lose memory and lose focus of their basic faculties as well. As of now,
there is no cure to this disease and people can only slow down the degenerative
process. So, in this regard, a lot of research is happening so that there could
be some cure for this disease.
Michael Mullan is a
famous biomedical researcher, who is doing a lot of research and studies of
beta amyloid protein and its effect on Alzheimer’s. His research on this
disease is quite widely known among the biomedical community. His research work
helped to prove the famous Swiss Mutation, which is present in the familial
form. The transgenic animals for the Alzheimer’s use the Swiss Mutation.
Dr Mullan is the director of Roskamp Institute. And, under his guidance, the institute is doing
a lot of cutting edge research in traumatic brain research, neuropsychiatric
disorders, Alzheimer’s and other diseases and disorders. This institute is
non-profit organization and is devoted towards understanding the causes of
diseases and finding cures for these neuro degenerative and neuro-psychiatric
disorders. The mission of this institute is conducting the scientific research
for discovering effective and safe drug therapies for successfully treating the
diseases of the nervous system. Also, it aims to promote healthy aging.
Based out of Sarasota
in Florida, the institute makes use of various scientific approaches for
understanding causes and potential solutions for all these disorders. And, the
main emphasis is laid on Alzheimer’s. Headed by Dr Michael and Dr Crawford, the
institute has various interdisciplinary and experienced technicians and
scientists. There is a very good state-of-the-art lab for doing research. And,
the lab is equipped with latest equipment for conducting the scientific
research. The quality of research done in the institute is excellent, beyond
doubt.
The people who work here feel rewarded when they work with all
these patients, who suffer from Alzheimer’s. All those old people who suffer
from this disease have led active lives. Seeing them suffering from memory loss
is quite depressing. And, the feeling of helping them out of their sufferings
is quite a philanthropic feeling. While some people are able to remember some
events some time, some people forget even the latest things that have happened
with them. So, for all those people who work with such patients, it is quite
rewarding for them, if they are able to make even a small difference. There are
various drugs, which are approved by FDA for treating these diseases. Some of
them are new and experimental as well and many are being developed by this
institute too.
So, the main aim of the institute, its physicians, researchers
and clinicians is to find some treatments for this degenerative disorder so
that people can lead their normal lives safely.
