Biography
Heidi Chial, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology and the Director of Grant Strategy and Development for the University of Colorado Alzheimer’s and Cognition Center (CUACC). Dr. Chial works with members of the CUACC, the Department of Neurology, and the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome to prepare grant applications and manuscripts for publication. She is also involved in the development and implementation of both basic science and clinical research projects. She received her PhD from the Dept. of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and she completed postdoctoral research training at Stanford University School of Medicine, the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and the Mayo Clinic. After meeting Dr. Potter and learning about his research program and their overlapping scientific interests in the connections between Alzheimer’s Disease, Down syndrome, and aneuploidy in neurodegenerative disorders, Dr. Chial joined the CU Alzheimer's and Cognition Center in 2015.
