The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) is one of the largest scientific conferences on dementia research. This year’s meeting will be held July 27-31, 2025 in Toronto, Canada. Like previous years, several CICB-affiliated scientists and trainees will be presenting their cutting-edge research on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
From the Bush lab:
Investigating the Shared Genetic Architecture Between Kidney Function and Alzheimer’s Disease Across Ancestries, to be presented by Biomedical Health Informatics (BHI) PhD candidate Diya Yang
Variant Modifies APOE Risk Effect in 5155 Non-Hispanic White and 4133 African Americans, to be presented by Systems Biology and Bioinformatics (SYBB) graduate student Yuchen Yang
Characterizing the interaction between expression quantitative trait loci and Alzheimer’s disease status, to be presented by SYBB graduate student Makaela Mews
From the Crawford lab:
Application of supervised and unsupervised machine learning approaches to identify somatic T-cell receptor sequence diversity profiles in Alzheimer disease among Midwestern Amish, to be presented by Epidemiology and Biostatistics (EPBI) PhD candidate Lauren Cruz
Dissecting Alzheimer Disease Heritability Across Dᴉverse Populations, to be presented virtually by EPBI PhD alumna and post-doctoral scholar Shiying Liu
