Peter St George-Hyslop is Professor of Experimental Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. His scientific work has led to ground breaking discoveries in the understanding of a number of neurodegenerative diseases.

He has identified genes that confer susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease and used those discoveries to elucidate pathways involved in the processing and cleavage of proteins that are implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease. The receptor cleavage mechanism is now known to underpin multiple other signaling pathways. His work has already delivered two candidate therapies for Alzheimer’s disease
