Dr. Jingchun Chen (Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine) and her team used deep learning AI techniques to develop genetic models based on polygenic risk scores (PRS). A PRS functions like a genetic risk calculator, combining the effects of thousands of small genetic variations to estimate the likelihood of developing specific diseases.鈥
An Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) Foundation grant for $100,000 was awarded to Jingchun Chen and her lab in the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine on March 1, 2023, to study the impact of COVID-19 on Alzheimer's Disease, focusing on sharing genes and pathways in immune cells.
This will help with the investigation of the鈥
