Research project investigating DNA methylation changes associated with repetitive head impacts and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, funded by NIH and conducted at Boston University Medical Campus.
Description
This project aims to uncover molecular mechanisms linked to low-level repetitive head impacts and CTE neuropathology through epigenome-wide association studies, focusing on DNA methylation signatures in postmortem human brain tissue. The research is supported by NIH grant PA-23-272 and involves collaboration with Boston University Medical Campus. The project duration is from February 2025 to January 2027, with an award amount of $50,114.
