"I look at the mechanistic interpretations of the data through mathematical modeling. We see what is happening, but the question is why. And to do that, we need to probe a little bit deeper. Why does amyloid beta cause these waves? We know it does, but why?," asked Chris MacDonald, a bioengineering Ph.D. student at UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering. Answering this "why question" could help researchers finally understand what causes Alzheimer's disease.
