Karen K. Hsiao Ashe is a professor at the Department of Neurology and Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota, where she holds the Edmund Wallace and Anne Marie Tulloch Chairs in Neurology and Neuroscience. She is Director of the Neurobiology of Alzheimer's Disease Research Laboratory at the University, and her specific research interest is memory loss resulting from Alzheimer's disease, and preventive care for the disease. Her research has included the development of a line of genetically engineered mice that develop symptoms similar to Alzheimer's, the discovery of abnormal proteins that disrupt brain activity in the early stages of the disease, and the possibility of reversing memory loss due to the disease.

John Quinn Trojanowski, M.D., Ph.D. is an academic research neuroscientist specializing in neurodegeneration. He and his partner, Virginia Man-Yee Lee, MBA, Ph.D., are noted for identifying the roles of three proteins in neurodegenerative diseases: tau in Alzheimer's disease, alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease, and TDP-43 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration.
Peter Henry St George-Hyslop, OC, FRS, FRSC, FRCPC, is a British and Canadian medical scientist, neurologist and molecular geneticist who is known for his research into neurodegenerative diseases. St George-Hyslop is one of the most cited authors in the field of Alzheimer's disease research. He has identified a number of key genes that are responsible for nerve cell degeneration and early-onset forms of Alzheimer's disease. These include the discovery of the presenilin 1, presenilin 2, nicastrin, and SORL1 genes. Presenilin mutations are the most common cause of familiar Alzheimer's disease. St George-Hyslop also co-led the discovery of the gene for the amyloid precursor protein.
