SUMMARY:Catchup - Mapping Dementia Risk Through Genes and Environment
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people develop Alzheimer’s disease while others with similar backgrounds do not. How do genetics interact with environment and social factors to shape individual risk. This session tackles these questions by looking at dementia risk as a whole system rather than a single cause. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session that brings researchers together to share their work\, ideas\, and approaches. \nIn this session\, Dr Shea Andrews will introduce his research programme at UCSF\, which integrates genetic\, environmental\, and social risk factors to develop dementia risk assessment tools for personalised medicine in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. He will focus on genetic exposome approaches\, showing how combining large scale genetic data with real world exposure information can improve how we predict risk\, understand disease mechanisms\, and tailor prevention strategies. \n\nShea is an Assistant Professor at the University of California San Francisco\, specialising in genetics and genomics. Attendees can expect a clear and research focused talk that bridges population science and personalised medicine\, with time for questions and discussion at the end.\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording
