  • Professor David Allsop and I have collaborated for  20 years. We started by meeting regularly with  local people (The Friends of Lytham Hospital) who decided to generous fund our initial PhD students using funds raised from volunteers. We received  grant funding  for the last 13 years from various funders that has advanced the careers of many PhD students, provide a promising early diagnostic test, and help to develop a new drug to treat  Alzheimer’s disease.
