Professor, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry School of Biological Sciences is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Glabe is an expert on amyloids, in particular Aß that is implicated as a causative agent of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Glabe has published key work on the relationship between amyloid structure and the mechanism of amyloid pathogenesis in degenerative diseases. This discovery indicates that amyloids share a common structure that is implicated in a common mechanism of pathogenesis. In addition to key papers on the structure of amyloids, Dr. Glabe has published extensively on the mechanisms of amyloid accumulation in Alzheimer's disease. He has received a network award from the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation to support his work and a number of grants from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Glabe has served as a scientific advisor to the National Institutes of health, the German Science Foundation and the Massachusetts Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Harvard University Massachusetts General Hospital . He received his Ph.D. from the University of California , Davis and Postdoctoral training at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and UC San Fransicso School of Medicine. |
