The University of Kentucky Postbaccalaureate Alzheimer’s Disease (KYPAD) Research Education Program will provide an in-depth research experience in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) for recent baccalaureate recipients in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

This cross-disciplinary program – based at an established AD Research Center – will create an intensive research experience, with the primary goal of preparing recent graduates for the transition into research-focused advanced degree programs in AD related disciplines or other careers in biomedical research.

Postbaccalaureate trainees will work on focused research projects in labs studying a wide range of AD and AD-related biomedical problems, will interact extensively with trainees and faculty at various levels of career development, and engage in carefully tailored professional development activities.

KYPAD participants will work in one or more laboratories at UK – collecting data, conducting experiments, and working alongside established research scientists – while also participating in a structured educational program that includes graduate level coursework, training in the responsible conduct of research, methods to enhance reproducibility, data science, and regular workshops and seminars.
