Stefan Prokop of UF is seeking to understand molecular and cellular changes of the brain and whether they are results or causes of Alzheimer’s disease. Prokop aims to advance understanding of the disease in diverse racial populations to guide treatment.
“In the end, we want to treat the population,” Prokop says. “We don’t want to treat one subgroup of the population, so what we hope to gain from our research is better insight: Are these genetically diverse populations similar, or have we studied one type of Alzheimer’s disease that occurs in Caucasians, and is the disease different?”
