      Hi Gareth,
      My work doesn’t directly help alzheimers disease BUT my work involves making tools to treat genetic conditions. This means any genetic condition, all I would need to do is just change the gene. The problem with Alzheimers is it is probably caused my lots of genes misbehaving over a long period of time, this creates huge problems when you come to look at how to treat it!
