Kenneth M. Rice · Seattle, Washington
Research Focus
Dr. Kenneth M. Rice's lab at the University of Washington focuses on improving genetic risk prediction for diseases such as Alzheimer's through advanced statistical methodologies. By developing Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) and collaborating with diverse research groups, the lab aims to create more accurate tools for personalized medicine that benefit a wider range of populations. The lab also emphasizes training and collaboration to enhance scientific understanding and application of genetic research in clinical contexts.
