Dr. Kauwe's curriculum vitae (pdf)


Welcome to the Kauwe Lab



We are interested in the genetic architecture of complex traits. Our current research is focused on using cerebrospinal fluid protein levels as intermediate traits, or endophenotypes, to identify genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. We have collaborators at several large clinical centers and focus on data analysis and bioinformatics.
