Dr Patrick Kehoe
Dr Kehoe's has over 16 years experience on Alzheimer's disease, related dementias and Mental Health research. His initial interests in Alzheimer's disease developed from his undergraduate degree studies at University College Dublin, Ireland where he double majored in Pharmacology and Molecular Genetics and subsequently from undertaking his PhD on “Molecular Genetics Studies of Alzheimer's disease” at the University of Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. In the course of his PhD studies he developed one of his main areas of research interest, the molecular involvement of the Renin Angiotensin System Pathway in Alzheimer's disease and molecular mechanisms underlying the well established links between cardiovascular risk factors and disease, their treatments and Alzheimer's disease. Dr Kehoe’s research and that of the Dementia Research Group he jointly leads with Professor Seth Love, continues with interests in genetic susceptibility factors in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias but now incorporates strong molecular epidemiological approach incorporating research into the multi-layered molecular interactions arising from genes and gene variations that translate to phenotypic changes in people that might explain the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in the general population.
