Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - How to use controls in your scientific studies

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Kamar highlights the importance of using controls in scientific research to ensure reliable, unbiased results. Kam explores different study designs, from clinical trials and case-control studies to neuropathology and animal research, demonstrating how controls help isolate variables and maintain validity. Drawing from their own experience, they discuss strategies such as matched designs, randomised controlled trials, and immunohistochemistry controls, showing how each approach enhances experimental rigour across different research fields.
