WRAP PI Sterling Johnson, Phd, joined the June 21 Badger Talks podcast to discuss latest advances in Alzheimer’s disease research.
“We are looking in the brain itself. How do you look in the brain of someone who is living? We have to use imaging. And so imaging is our main biomarker,” he said. “We’re looking at proteins in the brain that become abnormal and that may cause Alzheimer’s disease, one of them is called amyloid and the other is called tau.”
