After thirty years of research, Dr. Tang and his team at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation identified a key enzyme believed to cause Alzheimer’s disease. Now this dedicated team is working to create drugs to treat this cruel disease. When they are successful, future Alzheimer’s patients have a chance of living a relatively normal life.

Although now world-famous and in great demand by prestigious research facilities, universities, and pharmaceutical companies, Dr. Tang continues to pursue his American Dream in Oklahoma for some very good reasons:

“At OMRF, our research group has all the expertise needed for this work, and it would be hard to match that anywhere else. Also, most of us would like to make a difference in the world, and hopefully our research has achieved that very purpose.”
