Investigating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease genomics to understand mechanisms of brain aging, and to improve risk prediction, diagnosis and treatments.
New insights on the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease, aging, immunity, and neuronal vulnerability—check out our new preprint! https://t.co/Ms866jj7Ia
Is #Parkinson’s one disease or hundreds of different conditions? What is the difference between sporadic and familial disease? What is a “PD gene” really? Can we distill coherent biology? Check out our new @AnnualReviews on Parkinson’s syndrome! https://t.co/lCgYL14lxs
Today Joshua Shulman @LabShulman from @bcmhouston delivered a great talk about brain transcriptomics involved in aging and Alzheimer’s to the #CABD community! 🧠🪰 Followed by an informal get together with PhD students! Dr. Shulman is being hosted by @mdmarber!
In our latest preprint, we pinpoint 15 lysosomal storage disorder gene modifiers of alpha-synuclein #neurodegeneration, including many known or likely #Parkinsons disease risk genes! https://t.co/azdDkwoX1N
@BoeynaemsSteven @bcmhouston@TexasChildrens We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Steven and the Boeynaems Lab to the Duncan NRI, CAND and BCM--Congrats!!
Genome sequencing in the Parkinson’s Disease clinic—are we ready yet? Our new preprint grapples with the promise and pitfalls of personalized genomic medicine for PD: https://t.co/RxbGtdj2ND
