Professor Louise Serpell - A career in Alzheimer’s Research

Professor Louise Serpell, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this opening post, Louise Serpell traces her journey through Alzheimer’s research, beginning as a shy PhD student and moving through decades of scientific discovery, mentorship, and persistence. She reflects on finding her scientific home in protein misfolding and amyloid structure, the beauty of X ray fibre diffraction, and the realities of building a research career shaped as much by people and failures as by results. The piece sets the tone for a new blog series that will explore amyloid biology, success in academia, and what comes next for Alzheimer’s research.
