Description

Description
A M2 internship is available at Inserm UMR1167 unit – Risk factors and molecular determinants of aging-related diseases. The trainee will work under the supervision of Céline Bellenguez, in a multidisciplinary team which is a world leader in the genetic epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This disease results from the interaction between multiple factors: in addition to 14 modifiable risk factors, more than 80 genetic loci are associated with AD risk. Deciphering the substantial genetic component of AD, including its genetic heterogeneity, is necessary to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying the disease and to develop efficient precision medicine. In this context, the objective of the internship will be to identify subgroups of genetic variations associated with AD risk and involved in the same biological pathways. This will be done by applying clustering approaches to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics.
This internship could lead to an application to the graduate school funding for a thesis.
