Presentation:
Even though over a 100 years have passed since Alzheimer’s disease was first described, clinicians have very few medications that have shown any impact in treating this disorder. My talk will attempt to underline the lessons we can learn from our failures.
Speaker Biography:
Nipun Chopra is a PhD candidate studying the microRNA regulation of proteins implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. In his spare time, he loves to talk about science; play, watch, and podcast about soccer; and take his beautiful doggie, Octavia, for long walks so that she can combat the rising tide of squirrel crime in Indianapolis.
