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.
Abstract. The complement system is an ancient and powerful form of innate immunity. The alternative pathway (AP), a positive feedback loop, is at the core of the complement system. Activating components and regulators of the AP are genetically implicated in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Alison Goate, PhD, has been named director of the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders, a partnership between Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Hope Happens, a nonprofit foundation that supports research into neurodegenerative disorders.
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.
