Thank you The Peoples Pharmacy for featuring my research. I enjoyed speaking with you.

I was referred a patient with 'dementia' only to discover that she was malnourished; she recovered completely with an improved diet. Her city had become a food desert and she suffered for it. Read here: bit.ly/41XHQ66

So many illnesses affecting humankind; we need to be passionate about drug design and drug discovery

Medicinal chemistry/drug design is indeed a crucial element in the health and socioeconomic well-being of humankind.

Endogenous Antimicrobial-Immunomodulatory Molecules: Networking Biomolecules of Innate Immunity pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38658319/ Beta-Amyloid is part of a synergistic self-triggering network of antimicrobial-immunomodulatory molecules - perhaps a useful insight for drug design!

Research is our only path to a better tomorrow. Words we must remember, especially within the context of humankind's struggle to conquer neurodegenerative disease.

See: scientificamerican.com/custom-media/d… An important commentary on the ballooning economic cost of dementia and the need for better resourced research on neurodegeneration. We can pay now or we can pay more later!

🩸💉Major strides in early Alzheimer’s detection! Study shows a new blood test may be able to detect Alzheimer’s early–with 90% accuracy. “Early diagnosis is important,” said Donald Weaver to CTV News regarding the findings. Watch the interview now: bit.ly/4d5lBQP

Chloe Baloh and Emma Twiss from the Weaver Lab placed 1st and 2nd today at the Krembil Research Institute Summer Student Research Day for their work on Alzheimer's Disease. Congratulations!!

World Alzheimer's Day We must embrace research and strive, We must caress the living lives Of loving ones with tales untold As glia dance, proteins misfold. Diseases of our brain and mind, Cruel enemy of humankind. To cure AD – the mind, the brain, With scientific hand humane.
