Postdoctor in Biomarker research in neurodegenerative diseases
This employment will be embedded in the Swedish REAL AD cohort study, which validates a realistic screening approach for early Alzheimer’s disease involving the research of new and established fluid, imaging and digital biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease in the general population. All projects are part of local, national and international collaborations with interdisciplinary research groups led by world-leading researchers.
Doctoral student in Medical Science - PhD position in neuro biomarker research
Project title: Validation of a realistic screening approach for early Alzheimer's disease
The PhD project will, in collaboration with other lab members and research groups, (I) explore the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) for AD pathology, including multi-protein panels, with digital and remotely administered cognitive assessments and register-based data on sociodemographic and lifestyle factors; (II) establish and validate meaningful threshold for cognitive tests and BBMs against reference methods such as CSF proteomics; (III) support the data-driven implementation of relevant biomarker modalities in clinical routine.
