The 2024 Alzheimer’s Association’s International Conference (AAIC) annual conference (https://aaic.alz.org/) will take place July 28 – August 1, 2024 in Philadelphia, PA. The NGI Center is represented by 11 of our own researchers who are showcasing their recent work on Alzheimer’s disease either through oral presentations, guided poster tours, and posters. The contributions to this […]
We are excited to announce the winners of the NeuroGenomics and Informatics (NGI) Pilot Grant Program 2024, a funding initiative aimed at supporting research leveraging multi-omic approaches to understand the biology of neurodegenerative diseases For more information about the Pilot Awards please see: NGI Pilot Grant | NGI | WUSTL We are delighted to award […]
The NeuroGenomics and Informatics (NGI) Center (https://neurogenomics.wustl.edu/) at Washington University School of Medicine, seeks to appoint Full-time tenure-track faculty position with interdisciplinary research interests and approaches that focus on improving our understanding of Alzheimer Disease and related dementias. Candidates should have an interest in generating and/or leveraging multi-omic data to understand the biology of neurodegeneration […]
The Neurogenomics and Informatics (NGI) Center (https://neurogenomics.wustl.edu/) is requesting proposals for the 2024 pilot grant program. Projects may involve one or more collaborating laboratories. The Project PI must be an NGI-affiliated member. As a pilot grant, we do not intend to fund ongoing projects, but rather projects to develop preliminary results for future grant submissions or […]
The NGI Center funded a pilot project to Drs. Dickson, Cooper and Sardiello to Monitoring Lysosomal Content and Signaling in Lysosomal Storage Disorders. This funding led to a larger collaborative NIH funding for more than $8 million. This collaborative effort, which combines the areas of pediatrics, genetics, bioinformatics, and psychiatry will lead scientists to understand […]
The Alzheimer’s Disease/Parkinson’s disease (AD/PD) 2023 annual conference (https://adpd.kenes.com/) begins tomorrow and will continue through Saturday, April 1. The virtual conference provides 6 full days of scientific presentations and symposia including a mix of pre-recorded oral presentations and live discussions with presenters.The Cruchaga lab is represented by 13 of our own researchers who are presenting […]
The Neurogenomics and Informatics (NGI) Center (https://neurogenomics.wustl.edu/) is requesting proposals for a new pilot grant program. The vision of the NGI is to transform the field of human neurogenomics by going beyond the analysis of genomic DNA to explore other omics layers, including epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Molecular phenotyping of human samples is instrumental […]
