In 2002 he finally succeeded, using a chemical agent to alter normal proteins but not so-called aggregated misfolded ones, leaving the clumps easier to detect. It would become the formula for a diagnostic kit usable by blood banks everywhere...
Whippet thin from his daily 2 1/2 milewalks, Ronnie Ho, 57, doesn't look as if he's suffering from high blood pressure. Nor is he. At its peak two years ago, Ho's blood pressure clocked in at 140/90, slightly above normal but not high enough to elicit a pill or much alarm.
