Since opening its doors in 2003, The Roskamp Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been a leader in the global effort to better understand and treat diseases of the mind. The foundation for the Institute’s work was set more than a decade ago by the Institute’s two lead researchers, Drs. Michael Mullan and Fiona Crawford.
They were key members of a pioneering team of scientists who, in the early 1990s, , discovered the first known mutations causing early onset Alzheimer’s Disease in the amyloid gene.
