The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $762,636 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The grant, effective May 15, 2025 through March 31, 2030, aims to develop rigorous machine learning methods for the interpretable analysis of Alzheimer's disease genetics. The research will leverage a large curated database of genetic and multi-omics data from approximately 500,000 samples to discover causal genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease. The findings are expected to improve understanding of the disease's complex genetics and identify novel targets for the development of genomic-driven therapies.
