Investigating biomarkers for Alzheimer's and related dementias
Biofluid Core
This study is looking for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias to help improve how we diagnose and treat these conditions by analyzing samples like blood and spinal fluid, so we can find better ways to track new treatments.

What this research studies
This research focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias by collecting and analyzing biofluid samples, such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The goal is to create a well-defined group of participants for clinical trials, ensuring they meet specific criteria based on their biomarker data. The study aims to refine existing biomarkers and develop new ones to better monitor the effects of novel treatments. By collaborating with various academic and industry partners, the Biofluid Core will enhance the understanding of these diseases and support future clinical trials.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias who are interested in participating in clinical trials.
Not a fit: Patients with other forms of dementia not related to Alzheimer's or those who do not have a diagnosis of dementia may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring Alzheimer's disease, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
