St George’s University, London
Biography
I obtained a degree in Chemistry from Oxford, and a PhD in Biochemistry from London University. I acquired skills in protein science at UCLA in the 60’s, and an interest in brain peptides by working on endorphins at NIMR in the ‘70s. I started investigating the role of peptides and cellular protein mis-targeting in AD at St George’s in 1995, and found that raised cholesterol was a risk factor for ï¢-amyloid formation, and the small peptides were possible therapeutics.
Abstract
Abstract : Novel peptides for anti-amyloid therapy and MRI diagnosis in Alzheimer’s Disease.
