Betty Diamond

Betty Diamond is a prominent American neuroscientist known for her research in Alzheimer's disease and neurodegenerative disorders. She focuses on the mechanisms that lead to these conditions, particularly how proteins in the brain misfold and accumulate, causing damage to neural cells. Her work has contributed to the understanding of how neuroinflammation and immune responses affect brain health. Diamond's research aims to develop therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat these diseases, thereby improving the lives of those affected by cognitive decline and related conditions. Her contributions have been significant in the field of neuroscience and aging.
