Research
Basic research in Dr. Ashe's laboratory has identified Aß*56 as a specific
molecular mediator of Alzheimer's disease. I am currently working with
other scientists in the laboratory to develop a protocol for isolating
sufficient quantities of Aß*56 from the brains of transgenic mice to
supply the needs of the basic scientists in our laboratory and at other
institutions. I
am also developing an assay to measure the levels of Aß*56 in the cerebrospinal
fluid of human subjects.
