York research could speed up Alzheimer's diagnosis
Available for over a year
Naj Modak meets researchers Dr Steven Quinn and Professor Thomas Krauss at the University of York. Their research team is working to develop a blood test which they believe could diagnose Alzheimer's earlier. The team hope light-based technology could detect protein levels which are associated with the disease in a patient's blood. They are developing a handheld device to diagnose patients within seconds.
