On Friday June 13th, Marlene Lin succesfully defended her Master's thesis entitled "Tau topography subtypes account for clinical heterogeneity and longitudinal trajectories in early-onset Alzheimer's disease".
Marlene has been working in the lab for a year and a half, under the guidance of Kostas Chiotis and Renaud La Joie, in the context of her Master's program in Health data science. This project aimed to identify subtypes of patients with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease using tau-PET data from the LEADS study and a data driven technique called Subtype and Stage Inference Model (SuStaIn). We are grateful to Marlene's committee members, Drs Thomas Hoffmann and Suzanne Dufault, for their contributions in the last year!
And here are some more good news:
- Marlene will be presenting this work at AAIC 2025 in Toronton next month, and is currently wrapping up a manuscript based on these results.
- Marlene is staying in the lab as a data analyst! We are looking forward to continue working together on all sorts of data being collected in the lab!
