It will then focus on evi dence for interactions between genes and the environment\, and how genetic data can be used for causal inference about the effect of environmental f actors and intermediate phenotypes on PD risk.\n\nBio: Alastair is a Reade r in Neurology and Neuroepidemiology at the Wolfson Institute of Populatio n Health\, Queen Mary University of London\, and a Consultant Neurologist at Barts Health NHS Trust.

Bet ween 2014-2016 he undertook an MSc in Epidemiology at London School of Hyg iene and Tropical Medicine. His research interests are Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders\, particularly early identification and epidemiology\, including environmental\, clinical and genetic determi nants.\n\n\nSupported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts \, The Neuro’ s Killam Seminar series hosts outstanding guest speakers.\n DTSTART:20220419T200000Z DTEND:20220419T210000Z LOCATION:Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre\, Montreal Neurological Institute\, CA \, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: Parkinson’s disease determinants and gene + environment ‘interactions URL:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-parkin sons-disease-determinants-and-gene-environment-interactions-338790 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
