Alzheimer's Clinical Support Core at Indiana University
Clinical Core
['FUNDING_P30'] · INDIANA UNIVERSITY INDIANAPOLIS · NIH-11142996
This program gathers medical information and biological samples from people with Alzheimer's, early memory changes, and at-risk family members to help advance Alzheimer's research.

What this research studies
If you join, the Clinical Core will identify and follow people with preclinical or early symptomatic Alzheimer's, those with hereditary risk, and related dementia cases. The team collects neuroimaging and biospecimens including blood, DNA, plasma, CSF, PBMCs, and, when available, postmortem brain tissue. Those enrolled may be offered participation in national projects and clinical trials (for example ADNI or DIAN) and their samples support genetics, biomarker, neuropathology, and data analysis cores. The Core also collaborates with outreach and education programs to support families and train researchers.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates include people with Alzheimer's disease, individuals with early memory or cognitive changes, asymptomatic people with a family history or known genetic risk, and those willing to undergo imaging and biospecimen collection.
Not a fit: People without cognitive concerns, those whose conditions are unrelated to Alzheimer's, or individuals unwilling to participate in testing or sample donation are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: By collecting detailed clinical data and samples, this core could speed discovery of biomarkers and make patients eligible for trials and new treatments sooner.
How similar studies have performed: This approach builds on successful national consortia like ADNI and DIAN that have advanced biomarker discovery and trial recruitment, so it follows an established, effective model.
