the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute's Academic Unit of Neurology.The
ideal candidate will have a PhD in Biostatistics or a cognate area.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a
degenerative brain disease that leads to progressive decline and death
within 3-5 years of first symptom. Our detailed assessment of cognitive,
behavioural and social cognitive function in ALS points to significant
disruption in extra-motor systems in some patients. This project will
combine high resolution structural and dynamic imaging of the brain at 3
Tesla and spectral EEG/ EMG with clinical and genomic data to identify
sub-clusters of ALS patients. Using robust mathematical models and building
on key imaging and signal processing signatures we will develop
observed-independent, quantitative markers of disease that can be utilized
to generate disease clusters. These clusters will then be further analysed
based on discriminatory clinical, neuropsychological and genomic data.
