When Cassidy (Coggon) Sanchez arrived at UW-La Crosse, she knew she wanted to work with children.\u00a0As a teenager, Sanchez had babysat a child with cerebral palsy and had the opportunity to observe home physical therapy sessions. The experience inspired her to pursue pediatric physical therapy, and UWL helped turn that passion into a career.\u00a0More than 25 years later, that passion led Sanchez, \u201900, to do something she never imagined: help invent a new adaptive mobility device for her patients.<\/p>\n

\u2018We built a brain roadmap for each person\u2019: New AI-driven tools help decode Alzheimer\u2019s disease at the cellular level<\/a><\/h5>\n

New tools, designed by researchers in the lab of Daifeng Wang, a UW\u2013Madison professor of biostatistics, medical informatics and computer sciences, and an investigator in UW\u2013Madison\u2019s Waisman Center, aim to help researchers decipher the molecular underpinnings of Alzheimer’s disease by linking changes in brain cells to Alzheimer\u2019s symptoms, identifying specific genes and cell populations involved in disease progression and cognitive resilience, and creating gene roadmaps for individuals with the condition.<\/p>\n
