Thanks, These are the kind of motivations that matter.

Dr. Sugimoto : My mother developed dementia in her later years. Whenever I went to visit her, she'd ask me, “Young man, who are you?” It was a shock to me that my mother could no longer recognize her own son. I would say to her, “Mom, it's me, your son Hachiro,” and she'd reply, “Oh, you don't say? My son's name is Hachiro. You both have the same name.” It was a very sad time for me and I found it difficult to accept the reality of the situation. With these memories of my mother playing in my mind, I felt inspired that it was my mission as a scientist to generate an effective new drug for Alzheimer's, despite the illness' notoriety for being one of the most difficult-to-treat diseases.
