Michael Belloy is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Washington University in Saint Louis, within the Neurogenomics and Informatics Center (NGI). His lab is dedicated to spearheading innovative research in the field of age-related neurological and dementia disorders, employing a multi-modal, big-data approach that integrates genetics, multi- omics, imaging, biomarkers, clinical data and histopathological data. His primary objective is to identify novel genetic risk variants for Alzheimer’s disease, understand their molecular pathways and leverage this knowledge for drug development and personalized genetic medicine. His current work focuses on three primary areas in the genetics of Alzheimer’s disease: 1) sex dimorphism; 2) the role of ancestry; and 3) disease heterogeneity and resilience. He also serves as the vice-chair of the Sex and Gender Differences Professional Interest Area (PIA) for the Alzheimer’s Association.
