Selkoe, Dennis J.

Dennis J. Selkoe is a renowned neuroscientist whose research has significantly advanced understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. He focuses on how abnormal proteins in the brain, such as amyloid-beta, form plaques that damage nerve cells, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. His work has helped identify potential targets for developing treatments to prevent or slow the disease. As a leading expert in neurodegeneration, Selkoe’s contributions have shaped current approaches to diagnosing and potentially managing Alzheimer’s, offering hope for future therapies.
