Join Dr Steve Quinn to find out how we can unveil the molecular mechanisms that underpin Alzheimer's disease. Steve will describe some of the new imaging techniques and tools that researchers are now using, and showcase how these are being used to more effectively and efficiently develop the next-generation of therapies to help Alzheimer sufferers. This cutting-edge science combines techniques from biology,chemistry, optics and spectroscopy to enable us to understand how biological molecules function and, importantly, how they trigger disease. 

Steve is a lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of York. His research focuses on biophysics and bioengineering, in particular the development of new optical microscopy methods used to study single molecules.
