cerebrospinal fluid. The studentship will use recently available ‘omic data and /or MRI data to search for new biomarkers for SVD which can be used both in monitoring disease activity and tailoring treatment to specific disease groups. The project will involve statistical analysis of multiomic and brain imaging data with endpoints including both clinical data and MRI markers of CSVD. Project aims To develop and validate biomarkers for vascular cognitive impairment.
