Do you work with admixed population data in your research? Are you interested in how genetic admixture shapes the way Parkinson’s is investigated and understood? If so, we hope you join us for our next webinar on Thursday, January 15th, 12:00-1:00pm (ET).
In this talk, Dr. Thiago Peixoto Leal (Cleveland Clinic) will share his experiences working with LARGE-PD, the largest Latin American cohort for Parkinson’s disease research. He will discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of performing genetic analyses in admixed populations and will present new results that have not been shared before, highlighting the importance of including diverse populations in genomic studies.
If you are interested in attending, please reply to this post and we will add you to the calendar invite. If you have other colleagues who are not currently members of this community, please feel free to forward them this post or send their contact information to us (researchcommunity@michaeljfox.org).
Hi all and happy new year! We’re looking forward to kicking off this year’s monthly community webinar series with Dr. Thiago Peixoto Leal’s presentation on performing analyses in admixed populations, occurring virtually on Thursday, January 15th, 12:00-1:00pm (ET).
If interested, please respond to this thread and we’ll send you the invite!
Thank you to everyone who listened to me speak for almost an hour. I hope it was as enjoyable for you as it was for me. I’m looking forward to the paper being published soon so I can share it here.
