HKUST Vice President (Research and Development), Professor Ye Yuru (second from right) and his research team members - including the co-first author of this research paper, PhD student Ms. Duan Yangyang (first from right) - use the laser confocal imaging system to demonstrate How gene editing technology can reduce the pathology of the disease by destroying genetic mutations in familial Alzheimer's disease.
Using the blue device (pictured) that performs the ultrasensitive proximity extension assay technology, Prof. Ip and her team developed a blood test for early detection and screening of Alzheimer’s disease from Chinese patient data, with an accuracy level of over 96%.
