Dr Gratten completed his undergraduate studies and PhD at The University of Queensland, before undertaking postdoctoral training in evolutionary and quantitative genetics at the University of Sheffield. He then returned to Australia and shifted research focus to psychiatric and neurological genetics, taking up a position as research fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute. In 2013, he was recruited to UQ's Centre for Neurogenetics and Statistical Genomics, and in 2017 was awarded an NHMRC Career Development Fellowship (Level 2). He established the Cognitive Health Genomics group at Mater Research Institute in 2018, with the goal to improve understanding of the etiology of psychiatric and neurological disorders through analysis and integration of whole genome datasets. He has received >$5M in research funding from the NHMRC, Autism Cooperative Research Centre and both Australian (BICARE) and international (Brain & Behavior Research Foundation) philanthropic funders.

Cellular genomics of Parkinson's disease
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate with a background and interest in human genomics, statistics and neurodegenerative disease to join the Cognitive Health Genomics group at the Mater Research Institute, UQ. The successful candidate would work on an NHMRC-funded study to identify selectively vulnerable neuronal and/or glial cell types across the spatial and temporal course of Parkinson’s disease using single cell approaches.
Project description
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative condition affecting 1% of Australians aged ≥60-years. There is no cure, and the number of affected individuals is rising steeply as populations age. Understanding the genetic basis of PD is critical to developing new therapeutics to counter the growing disease burden. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of PD have identified nearly 100 risk loci, but interpretation of these findings remains challenging; we do not yet know the identity of most PD risk genes, nor the specific cell types in which they act, nor when they act during the course of disease, which hampers efforts to identify targets for interventions. We will address these challenges by using single nucleus RNA-seq to identify cell types involved in the onset and progression of Lewy body pathology in PD-related brain regions.

Cellular genomics of Parkinson's disease
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate with a background and interest in human genomics, statistics and neurodegenerative disease to join the Cognitive Health Genomics group at the Mater Research Institute, UQ. The successful candidate would work on an NHMRC-funded study to identify selectively vulnerable neuronal and/or glial cell types across the spatial and temporal course of Parkinson’s disease using single cell approaches.
Project description
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative condition affecting 1% of Australians aged ≥60-years. There is no cure, and the number of affected individuals is rising steeply as populations age. Understanding the genetic basis of PD is critical to developing new therapeutics to counter the growing disease burden. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of PD have identified nearly 100 risk loci, but interpretation of these findings remains challenging; we do not yet know the identity of most PD risk genes, nor the specific cell types in which they act, nor when they act during the course of disease, which hampers efforts to identify targets for interventions. We will address these challenges by using single nucleus RNA-seq to identify cell types involved in the onset and progression of Lewy body pathology in PD-related brain regions.
