As a result, genetics has always been quite personal to me. Long before I was a physician, I was a patient, and I am very aware of the struggles that can result from carrying a defective gene. It is because of this that I have made it my life’s mission to find ways for us to conquer disease by outsmarting our genes.

Thu, 20 May 2010 11:00:00 EST http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brandon-colby-md/alzheimers-waging-a-new-o_b_574002.html Alzheimer's disease now affects one out of every eight people over the age of 65 and approximately one in 1,000 people between the ages of 30 and 49. In some segments of our society, such as NFL football players, the rates are even more staggering, with the disease affecting one in 53 NFL retirees between the ages of 30 to 49 (the equivalent of one player per team). With the total number of people affected by Alzheimer's predicted to quadruple within the next 40 years, we need to find a new offensive against this unrelenting disease before it steals the minds of yet another generation.
