Wanucha: From Worms to Brains

by Chris Tachibana | Jun 29, 2017

KConnors.DSCF1153Think “multidisciplinary” is just a science buzzword? Genevieve Wanucha’s story about a gene linked to Alzheimer’s disease follows a discovery from bioinformatics, to transgenic model organisms, to postmortem human brains. Genevieve is at the University of Washington Memory and Brain Wellness Center, @genevievemw and @MemoryBrain_UW. (And hey, this cake recipe looks good, too!) image: kconnors
