We Can Change The World

Alzheimer’s Research with Krtin

Duration: 23 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

Presenter Isy Suttie speaks to the brilliant Krtin Nithiyanandam whose fascination in science and research lead him to develop a ground breaking idea to help diagnose the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

Krtin has always had a curious mind and it was that curiosity which led him to develop a ground breaking idea that has not only changed his life but has the potential to change thousands of lives.

Through sheer determination his work has not gone unnoticed; being recognised internationally when he won the Scientific American Innovative Awards in 2015, being listed as one of Time Magazine's Most Influential Teens in 2017 and fast forward to 2020 where he continues to study at Stanford University, California.

This is how Krtin is changing the world… Show less
