About this site


Welcome to the crossroads of curiosity and cutting-edge science!

I'm Marcus Carstensen, an entrepreneur driven by a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the brain, Alzheimer's disease, and the unknowns of aging and mortality (a naive pursuit).

If you are here reading this, it is very likely that you, just as I am, are on a personal journey to dive deep into the neuroscience that underpins our very existence.

On this website, we are on an insatiable quest for knowledge to bring you insights that bridge the gap between complex research and accessible understanding.

Here, you will find a unique blend of scientific exploration and personal inquiry, aimed at peeling back the layers of:

  1. The intricate workings of the brain
  2. The relentless pursuit to understand Alzheimer's disease
  3. The fundamental questions of why we age and why we die

But this isn't just a one-way street (I hope it not to be).

I believe in the power of community and shared learning.

That's why I've created "Brain Bites" - a monthly newsletter that distills the latest, most exciting advancements in Alzheimer's research into bite-sized, engaging updates.

It's an invitation to join me and a vibrant community of like-minded individuals in staying at the forefront of neuroscience and aging research.

This is more than just a site; it's a hub for those who are curious, and for those who aspire to understand the profound intricacies of our minds and lives.

If you want, let's explore, learn, and grow together in this ever-evolving journey of discovery.

Join me in this endeavor, and let's push the boundaries of what we know about the brain, Alzheimer's, and the aging process.

Warmly and most sincerely

Marcus Carstensen
