T O P I C:   Mitochondria At The Center Of Alzheimer’s Disease

Dr. Perry’s studies are focused on the mechanism of formation and physiological consequences of the cytopathology of Alzheimer’s disease. The lab has shown that oxidative damage is the initial cytopathology in Alzheimer’s disease. They are working to determine the sequence of events leading to neuronal oxidative damage and the source of the increased oxygen radicals.
