Michael Mullan is a very famous name in the field of Biomedical. He is a well known biomedical researcher of the beta-amyloid proteins and its relation with the Alzheimer disease is also very much known to almost everyone. His notable research works are very good source of gaining insight into the deeper theories pertaining to the Alzheimer disease. He is a recognized authority in this area and its associated disorders. His research work has helped a lot in identifying the Swedish Mutation. Michael Mullan: An Introduction Dr. Mullan has completed his training as a physician in England receiving the medical degree from the famous London University. He was an author of many research papers pertaining to the genetic discrepancies which lead to the early onset of Alzheimer. He has co-authored more than 200 research papers relating to this disease and out of these papers in most of them he has served as the senior author. He has been professor of Psychiatry, Pathology and Neurology. He is presently the CEO and President of the Roskamp Institute in Sarasota, Florida. This institute is aided or funded by a number of agencies which includes the Department of Defense also. It is a non-profit institute which is fully devoted to finding cures for neuropsychiatric diseases. Here in this institute Dr. Mullan alongwith his team of neuroscientists devised a Brain Reserve Index. This is a numerical estimation of the risks in developing of the Alzheimer’s disease. Under his able guidance the institute is flourishing in the biomedical areas and carrying out highly advanced research in the fields of Traumatic Brain Research, Alzheimer disease, Gulf war illness and many neuron-psychiatric disorders. He himself has undertaken cutting edge research in the respective fields. Alzheimer - a Disease of Memory Loss The Alzheimer disease is the most common form of dementia. It is an incurable disease and leads to death ultimately. It was first discovered by a German scientist and psychiatrist. It was assumed that this disease occurs generally in the people at the age of 65 years but with adequate researches it has been found that its onset begins at early stages. It has different symptoms for different individuals. In the early symptoms that can be commonly observed include problem in recalling recent events. As the effect of Alzheimer aggravates the symptoms include irritability, aggression, confusion, and mood swings alongwith total loss of memory. Gradually it persists through the patient’s entire brain thereby disrupting the functionality of both the mind and the body and finally leading to death. It is found that it evolves due to protein misfolding in the brain specifically the beta-amyloid proteins. It can be diagnosed through brain mapping, neuropsychiatry tests. Thus, it can be concluded that the Alzheimer disease is very dangerous as well as costly. It can remain unidentified for a long period of time. The patients also do not have a life span of more than seven years; very rare cases are seen where the patients survive for fourteen years. In this respect the excellent works of Dr. Mullan have really proven to be a boon for doctors to find out a cure for this perilous disease.
