Research Abstract

I learned Immunology and then began research of Alzheimer’s disease from the angle of immunology. My research theme was about how compliment or compliment regulator influence to dementia. Now, I’m searching for markers of dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease, to diagnose these diseases earlier as possible, and then prevent onset and progression.
