Jose Bras, PhD, is a human geneticist whose lab focuses on understanding the role of genetic variability in neurological diseases. After eight years at University College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute, Dr. Bras joined the Van Andel Institute in late 2018 where he has established his complex disease genomics program.
