Explore Alzheimer's disease with us on this episode of The Science Basement Podcast! Hosts Giuliano and Pritakshi chat with Alejandra Castilla B. Together, we dive into what causes Alzheimer's disease and all the latest research surrounding the models to study the disease. From animal models to 'mini-brains' grown in the lab from patients' blood cells, we break down the science for you. Join us for a fascinating discussion on neurodegenerative diseases and the exciting developments in the field. Alejandra Castilla B is a biomedical Engineer (Universidad de los Andes, Colombia) and Master in Neurophysiology (University of Regina, SK, Canada), lecturer and TEDx scientist in Alzheimer's disease, who is currently doing a Ph.D. in Medical Biophysics at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. She loves to study biomaterials and tissue engineering and has experience in academia as a researcher and laboratory instructor in neurosciences and biosciences, and in regulatory affairs for medical device approval. She is the designer of biomedical devices and software and the founder of Linkiu App, an application that aims to be the technological strategy to connect medical personnel with medical supply providers.
