On 6 September 2024, a conference on Brain Health and Ageing was organised within the IISc campus. At this conference, our co-Leader Suvam, met Prof. Henrik Zetterberg and Dr. Andrew Morris, from HDR UK.
Prof. Zetterberg was quite impressed with our idea, and discussed how we could integrate our aptamer with diagnostics and have an effective treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease or other tauopathies, in the future. He also asked us to look upon new diagnostic molecules and if we could integrate them into our work. Dr. Morris shared his experience on the difficulty of predicting the epidemiological presence of Alzheimer’s. He also discussed about probable methods of enhancing the process.
