　　In this project, we will assess how new insights from the genetics of Alzheimer’s disease, including polygenic risk, can aid in understanding the molecular and cellular basis for Alzheimer etiopathogenesis. The candidate will use human iPS cells both in vitro and in vivo using xenografted mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (see Mancuso et al. 2019 Nat Neurosci) to gain further insight.
