Works of prolific Alzheimer researcher appear in medical journals

Prof. Suh Yoo-Hun, 53, of the pharmacology department at the Medical College of Seoul National University will see all eight of his theses published in seven international academic journals almost simultaneously. The United States Institute for Scientific Information approved the publication of Suh`s articles, which upset existing theories about Alzheimer`s disease. Local medical circles said Suh`s achievement indicated that he was a step closer to winning the nation`s first Nobel Prize for medicine.
