TUDA study
The Trinity-Ulster-Department-of-Agriculture (TUDA) cohort is a unique and innovative resource for ageing research designed to assess the impact of nutritional, lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors on diseases of ageing, particularly in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, dementia and osteoporosis.

SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomic Data Science.
We are a PhD training programme, linking together approximately 90 genomics data science group leaders based at five Irish institutions. Expertise within the group spans from statistical modeling and machine learning to the full range of application of genomics. Over the coming four years our research teams will be joined by 100 fully funded PhD students, recruited through this Centre.
Control of Neuronal Proteostasis by Stress-induced Transfer RNA Fragments (‘tiRNA’) as a common Stress Pathway across Neurodegenerative Disorders.
Project Aim(s):
(i) To Identify tiRNA/sncRNA fingerprints in AD, ALS, FTD and PD human disease i-neurons.
(ii) To determine if tiRNAs affect the survival of i-neurons from controls and ALS, PD and FTD models.

Systems Analysis of novel small Non-coding RNA in neuronal Stress Responses: Towards novel Biomarkers and Therapeutics for Neurodegenerative Disorders - RNA-NEURO.
Project Aim(s): The aim of RNA-NEURO is to reveal the role of small non-coding RNAs in Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia, with a view to creating novel therapeutic strategies to treat these disorders.
