We use genetics and genomics to understand neurodegenerative diseases. We also use modern approaches to develop more predictive models for Alzheimer's disease.

Check out Alaina's new paper, out now in Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism! Couldn't resist making this meme based on other tweets we've been seeing lately. Link in the comments. @leahc_graham @garethhowell10

We are very excited to announce that #twitterless postdoc Olivia Marola had her #AARF funded! Her work will be focused on understanding risk factors for CAA, and the use of a potential therapeutic targeting vasculature! Congrats! @jacksonlab @alzassociation #ENDALZ

@cowabunga314 presenting on wild derived mice exhibiting variation in microglia response and vascular amyloid pathology!! Go Kristen! @adpdnet #ADPD2022 @jacksonlab #motherofwildmice

Imagine dany talking about her awesome dragons, well the closest thing you’ll get to that is watching Kristen Onos @cowabunga314 talk about wild derived mouse strains and how these genetically diverse AD mice model better vascular contributions to dementia 🧠#motherofwildmice 🐁

Bad research: 404 ERROR NOT FOUND‼️❌ Good research: Poster #404 ✅😊 where our twitterless postdoc Alaina will be talking about an AD risk variant in the MTHFR gene and it’s cerebrovascular pathology in a novel mouse model🐁🧠
