Mychael Lourenço

Mychael Lourenço is a professor at the Institute of Medical Biochemistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and a lead researcher in a groundbreaking study that investigates the biochemical differences in cognition between men and women, particularly focusing on the role of carnitine in Alzheimer's disease. His recent research suggests that lower levels of carnitine in women may contribute to their higher risk of developing Alzheimer's, prompting a call for more gender-focused studies in medical research.
