The PhD degree will be awarded by MAHE.CBR promotes interdisciplinary research in basic and clinical neuroscience to understand disorders of the agingbrain through advanced genetic, biochemical, neuroimaging and neurocognitive investigations. These studiesare dovetailed with research on model systems to identify the molecular underpinnings of age-related braindisorders. Genome wide association studies (GWAS), whole genome sequencing (WGS) and advanced computational approaches are being employed to identify common, low frequency, rare, single nucleotide polymorphisms, and structural genetic variations that could contribute to healthy aging and/or neurological disorders. Brain imaging investigations are being conducted to identify structural, vascular, and metabolic alterations in aging brain using advanced brain imaging methods at 3 Tesla state-of-the-art human MRI
scanner.
