 pportunities associated with the discovery of effective treatments for AD\
 , early diagnosis and the perception of AD by clinicians and the general p
 ublic. This will cover\, in brief\, work undertaken in Cambridge (and the 
 rest of the world) on the molecular biology of disease and on the translat
 ion of cell and systems neuroscience to clinical diagnostics.\n\nDr Chan i
