I wanted state-of-the-art treatment for a very aggressive disease. I wanted to fight fire with fire, and I wanted care over and above standard care, so I got into a clinical trial.

We are focusing now on [applications] that are relevant to disease detection and treatment. The technique can also be used to track newly developed drugs as they travel into various types of cells. We are only a year or so away from this type of application.

I envision devices that detect disease much earlier than conventional detection methods. It could eventually be possible to initiate treatment at this very early stage using implanted devices that communicate with cells at the molecular level.

All crime is a kind of disease and should be treated as such

A disease and its treatment can be a series of humiliations, a chisel for humility

The prospect of finding a safe and effective new approach to both prevention and treatment of Alzheimer?s disease is tremendously exciting.
