49 Research Reflection by Raghad Al-Jassimi

Being a part of a team that is looking at Alzheimer’s treatments has been tremendously meaningful for me as a student. It’s obvious that Alzheimer’s disease has a significant impact on patients and their families, thus the need for effective treatments is constantly present. I’m quite inspired to contribute to the research endeavor as a consequence. It can be challenging to work on this project because it involves a lot of testing, analysis, and collaboration with other scholars. Nevertheless, despite the challenges, the opportunity to positively impact the lives of so many people is tremendously fulfilling.
