A lot of research has been going on in the field of Alzheimer's and
brain development. And, one of the leading institutes doing this
research is Roskamp Institute. Based out of Sarasota in United States,
is an non-profit organization, which is committed towards discovering
and treating neuropsychiatric as well as neuro-degenerative disorders.
Michael
Mullan happens to be the director of this prestigious institute. Dr.
Mullan was born in 1956 in Kent. He did his graduation in Medicine and
Surgery from London University. He did his post-graduation in Psychiatry
from Royal college in 1990. Then, he did his PhD in Philosophy,
specializing in Molecular Genetics from London University, in the year
1993.

He has been the main person behind the research on Alzheimer's disease. He holds around 12 patents in total. And, he has published about 200 scientific studies in the past 3 decades. And, all these published materials are on Alzheimer's disease, neuropathy of dementia, molecular genetics, manic-depression, alcoholism, schizophrenia, etc. He has received a number of awards and honours for all his research work.
Dr.
Mullan is the bio-medical researcher of Beta Amyloid Protein. And, he
has been working on its relation with Alzheimer's disease. His research
is quite well known in the bio-medical community. Due to his research,
Swiss Mutation has been identified. The transgenic animals for the
Alzheimer's makes use of the Swedish Mutation. The institute, which is
headed by Dr. Mullan and Dr. Fiona Crawford, has been dedicated towards
the research. The institute has various experienced scientists,
technicians and the most-updated equipment and tools for conducting the
scientific research. And, the research quality is also the best. As per
them, better science leads to a real discovery. The mission of this
institute is conducting the scientific research so that safer and more
effective drugs can be taken out for treating the mind-related diseases.
The Roskamp institute in Sarasota has a wide range of technical
innovative advancements. And, under the leadership of Dr. Mullan, there
are about 70 clinicians, scientists, students, and other administrative
