Join group leader Lorena Arancibia Carcamo as she explains Alzheimer’s and how science is unravelling this complex disease.
In this talk, Lorena Arancibia Carcamo, a research scientist and group leader at the Crick, shares how scientists are developing an understanding of how disease progression occurs and what role genes play in the risk of any of us developing Alzheimer’s.
She also explains how we may now be a turning point for Alzheimer's disease, and how soon we'll be able to develop new therapies and offer hope to patients and their families.
Over the course of our lives, over half of us will be devastated by Alzheimer’s disease, either by developing it ourselves, or caring for someone who has it.
Her research shines a light on the complex multicellular processes within our brains that may cause this disease.
Crick Crash Courses started life as talks for our staff, to help everyone working here – scientists and non-scientists – better understand the Crick's discovery research into how life works.
We're now opening our doors to our crash course talks, giving everyone, everywhere the opportunity to hear directly from our scientists as they investigate some of the most complex challenges in human health.
