  1. Independent Research PresentationVaibhav Garg, PD 1 “Happy is he who gets to know the reasons for things.” -- Virgil (70-19 BCE Roman Poet)

  2. Overview

  3. Interest/Questions • Why or how is there excess iron in the brain? • Is excess iron in the brain a viable cause of AD? • What is the relationship between excess iron in the brain and AD? • What are the neurological effects of excess iron in the brain?

  4. The Hunt for Advisers • RadwaAly, - Clinical Research of Neurology at George Washington University • Dr. Othman Ghribi, - Associate Professor of Physiology at University of North Dakota • Dr. William Klein, - Professor of Neurobiology at Northwestern University • Dr. Paul Shepard - University of MD school of Medicine, Psychiatry • Dr. James Connor - Professor of Neurosurgery and Neural/Behavioral Sciences, Penn State

  5. Sources – Advisers

  6. Research and Knowledge Gained • What is Alzheimer’s disease?

  7. Research and Knowledge Gained • What does iron do in the brain, what are some of its functions and properties?

  8. Purpose, Impact, Importance • Where does the research go from here? - Properties of iron + Knowledge of AD = Relationship between the two. • How can it be used? - Cause or contributing factor of AD - Treatments/medical advice accordingly

  9. Closing • Objectives: • : Interest, Question, Advisers • : Research and Knowledge Gained • : Purpose, Impact, and Importance • Any questions?
