Aaron Carroll talks with Dr. Bruce Lamb and Dr. Alan Palkowitz about Alzheimer's disease. They discuss how they're combining their different backgrounds and strengths – basic science in university research for Lamb and drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry for Palkowitz – as they work to develop potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
