• Question: heyah Sam, Loved chatting with you this morning- it was very fun!! When do you think the cure for Alzeimers will be developed? Do you hope to be alive when it is cured?

      I’d love to say within the next 10 years, and that s possible, but we just don’t know. When you are working on projects in the lab, sometimes they seem really good, and there are lots of really good ones being developed at the moment, but when you translate that into humans things don’t always work as well. So my project might work brilliantly in the lab but in real life it might be useless. This is why it is hard to say when there will be a cure, but I do believe there will be one.
