This research advances health equity for neurological patients by improving health literacy, engaging communities through participatory research, and implementing evidence-based healthcare practices. By designing communication around patients' lived experiences, it aims to improve treatment adherence, reduce health disparities, strengthen caregiver support, and create more accessible, person-centered healthcare systems.

This research introduces the first simple mathematical model capable of capturing the cooperative folding of alpha helices, a fundamental protein structure. By revealing how these proteins fold, stabilize, and misfold, the model offers new insights into diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's while providing a fast, flexible platform for protein research.
