We Bring Breadth and Depth of Experience to the Table
All of us have collaborated on large-scale genetics projects and all of us have been involved in identifying novel genetic variations and biological pathways implicated in Alzheimer’s Disease – or disease resistance. We are founding members of the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC), the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), and the International Genomics of Alzheimer’s Project (IGAP).
