Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and approximately 5.3 million people suffer from the disease. Our goal as a research group from the Florida Institute of Technology is to focus on the molecular aspects of AD to gain further understanding. Our main focus is on amyloid protein, which has been linked to AD as well as diseases such as Parkinson's and Type II diabetes, and the long-term brain damage that often follows head injuries. Members of our research group are undergraduate and graduate students utilizing a wide range of disciplines from engineering to mathematics to biology. Many of our students have been affected directly or indirectly by AD and have a passion for medical research of the utmost importance.
