    My research interests include immunology and the mechanisms of amyloid formation. The latter has implications for people who are dealing with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease … View Profile

    The most common form of colour blindness (red-green colour blindness) is a consequence of a defective gene on the X chromosome (which is why it affects 7-10% of men but less than 1% of women).

    It gets neither better nor worse with time and there is no known treatment for it.
