CTS641A

040733

CTS 641A is designed as a problem-based learning experience focused on developing an understanding that Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are complex diseases with different etiologies and progression trajectories. Thus, one size therapy will not fit all and will not fit anyone for all time; requiring a portfolio of therapeutic interventions that target genotypes (including chromosomal sex) and phenotype (etiology and stage of AD). In this course students will learn to embrace this complexity and learn to leverage modern tools; including bioinformatics, epidemiology, genetic sequencing, and in-silico compound screening to learn how to navigate and thrive in this environment. In addition, students will gain exposure to patients and caregivers to learn the importance of beginning with the patient.
