Experiment protocol | Rethinking mental health

Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that affects a person's mental abilities. The patient suffers progressive memory loss and is increasingly unable to perform even the most basic tasks. In the final stages of the disease, sufferers are confined to bed and depend entirely on the people around them. As yet, there is no cure for the disease.

With this experimental protocol, you will do research with peptides and proteins and can synthesise a fluorescent molecule inhibiting a peptide, the aggregation of which is responsible for Alzheimer's.
