EP 144: Research Roundup with Dr. Veera: breakthroughs in developmental disorders, Parkinson's, SLE, and Alzheimer's

The Genetics Podcast

Join us as we welcome back Dr. Veera Rajagopal, a discovery scientist at Regeneron with an interest in human genetics and drug target discovery in neuroscience and psychiatry. If you’re a regular listener of The Genetics Podcast, you are likely familiar with Dr. Veera’s annual round-up episodes. This year, we are excited to announce quarterly episodes with Dr. Veera, where he and Patrick walk you through the latest developments in genetics, drug discovery, and precision medicine throughout the year. This quarter’s episode will dive into the discovery of a recurrent de novo mutation in a noncoding region linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, the role of RAB32 in Parkinson's disease (PD), insights into monogenic conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus, and new perspectives on Alzheimer's genetics. Tune in now, and don’t forget to check out Veera’s substack, GWAS Stories, and his Twitter, @doctorveera.
