NIH Director's Seminar Series
The repeated failures of disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer ’ s disease (AD) have increased the urgency to identify novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers for AD and related dementias (ADRD). Dr. Thambisetty's Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Section has applied a systems biology approach leveraging deep molecular phenotyping by multi-OMICs methods in brain and blood in combination with multi-modal neuroimaging and epidemiological analyses to identify abnormal metabolic pathways in ADRD associated with severity of pathology and expression of clinical symptoms. These studies have added to a growing body o...
