Dr. Goate elected into the National Academy of Medicine. “Election to the National Academy of Medicine is considered one of the highest honors in medicine,” says Dennis S. Charney, MD, the Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “The election of Drs.
Genome-wide association studies: GWAS) have identified common variation in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 and CHRNA6-CHRNB3 gene clusters that contribute to nicotine dependence. However, the role of rare variation in risk for substance dependence in these nicotinic receptor genes has not been studied.In my PhD, I first conducted statistical genetics research of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Dr. Alison Goate’s lab for a year. By deploying a new GWAS approach and integration with eQTL, biomarker, and epigenomics associations, I linked PU.1 and its regulated gene network to AD (2017).Advisors: Elaine Mardis PhD, Obi Griffith PhD 2013-Present My thesis is focused on using machine learning, data curation, and software development to identify and prioritize cancer mutations from whole genome sequence data.
As recently as the 1980s, when Alison Goate, PhD, was doing her doctoral work at the University of Oxford, medical school curricula devoted little attention to Alzheimer’s because of the persistent belief that it could not be prevented, slowed, or cured.
After his doctoral studies, Dr. Cruchaga became interested in the genetics of neurodegenerative disease during his postdoctoral training at the Dr. Pau Pastor laboratory (University of Navarra). He.

Professor Alison Heppenstall. Profile. My research interests are focused on the development of artificial intelligent (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods. I work with individual-based methods such as agent-based modelling, for simulating individual behaviour and understanding processes and evolution of geographical systems.
The traditional thesis-only PhD can be completed on a full or part-time basis. We welcome proposals for doctoral research in any of the Department's many areas of teaching or research. With over 100 doctoral students studying with us on a full- or part-time basis, at Lancaster or off-site, there is a strong doctoral-level research culture in our department.
Alison Jeffers is a Lecturer in Applied Theatre and Contemporary Performance at the University of Manchester where she has worked since 2009. She teaches on BA (Hons) Drama courses and supervises a number of PhD students.

My PhD thesis focused on the role of glia and skeletal muscle in motor neuron disease, and my current research interest is the role of glial cells in the neurobiology of Alzheimer's disease.
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text.
Objective. To define the genetic landscape of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and assess the contribution of possible oligogenic inheritance, we aimed to comprehensively sequence 17 known ALS genes in 391 ALS patients from the United States.
