Project description
We will study genomic aspects of rare neurodegenerative brain disorders (NBD). First, we will establish a multidisciplinary clinical neurogenetics program at UZ Gent. Second, we will use fruit flies to study the potential pathogenic nature of novel NBD-related genetic variants. Third, we will use single-cell sequencing to study the role of genomic mosaicism in neurodegeneration.
