As a Gamecock, my motivation has No Limits.
Melissa Moss, faculty
Day after day, Melissa Moss watched her mother care for her aging
grandfather — a once vibrant man. When he could no longer
remember her name, the devastation of Alzheimer’s disease
became real to her. Sparing others that anguish drives her at USC.
A chemical engineer at South Carolina’s top research university,
Melissa is targeting certain proteins associated with the disease’s
development. Her research has important implications for all of us,
especially as we grow older, but for Melissa the work is personal.
