Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Individuals living with or at risk for neurodegenerative disorders, particularly those in Southern Nevada, could potentially benefit from or participate in future research stemming from this center.
✕Less likely to help
Patients whose conditions are not related to neurodegenerative disorders would likely not directly benefit from this specific research focus.
What this research studies
Our center is building the necessary tools and expertise in Southern Nevada to better understand and address neurodegenerative disorders. We are bringing together experts from the Cleveland Clinic and the University of Nevada Las Vegas to develop innovative diagnostic methods and therapeutic interventions. This includes creating a dedicated brain imaging department and establishing a research group of individuals with neurodegenerative disorders who receive thorough health assessments. Our goal is to improve care for the growing number of people in Nevada affected by these conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments for various neurodegenerative disorders, improving quality of life for patients.
How similar studies have gone: The center has already made significant progress in its first phase, including establishing a brain imaging department and a research cohort, indicating a strong foundation for continued success.
