Research grant awarded to study genetic factors affecting neurobiological responses to COVID-19 in older adults, with implications for Alzheimer's Disease risk.
Description
This project aims to investigate the genetic basis of neurobiological responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection in older adults from diverse populations, focusing on the risk of Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD). The study will utilize whole genome sequencing (WGS) data in a case/control design to identify genetic influences on neurocognitive measures, neuroimaging, and blood-based biomarkers related to COVID-19 neurological impacts.
