Many debilitating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzherimers/Parkinsons and Huntington’s are linked to protein misfolding and aggregation into amyloid fibrils and plaques in the brain. This webinar focuses on how neutron scattering techniques can elucidate the structures and steps involved in the aggregation mechanisms to provide crucial information to understand and combat these diseases and to develop better medications.
