This NIH-funded project led by Dr. ECE Bayram at UC San Diego investigates sex differences in Lewy body dementia using genetic and neuropathologic methods to improve diagnosis and develop sex-specific clinical models over a five-year period.
Description
The project focuses on understanding sex differences in Lewy body dementia through genetic and neuropathologic analysis. The project aims to develop sex-specific models for clinical differentiation and improve diagnostic accuracy. The project is funded by NIH, under PA-20-188. The principal investigator is Dr. ECE Bayram, an Assistant Project Scientist at UC San Diego. The project involves collaboration with experts in genetics, neuropathology, and bioinformatics. The project duration is five years, with a focus on training in genetic analysis, neuropathology, and statistical analysis with big data.
