Mount Sinai Clinical Core for Alzheimer's research
Core B - Clinical Core
This program builds and follows a group of older adults with and without memory problems to support Alzheimer's research.

What this research studies
If I join, the Clinical Core would record my memory tests, medical history, brain scans, and collect blood or other samples, then follow me over time. The team keeps a diverse group of participants across the range from normal thinking to different stages of dementia and makes the data and samples available to Mount Sinai and national Alzheimer’s research networks. That support helps researchers plan clinical trials, study disease progression, and look for biomarkers. Participation typically involves clinic visits, cognitive testing, imaging, and biospecimen donation.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are older adults with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or Alzheimer's dementia who can attend clinic visits and are willing to undergo imaging and provide biospecimens.
Not a fit: People seeking immediate therapeutic benefit or those unable to attend in-person visits or provide samples may not receive direct benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: By creating a well-characterized group of participants and samples, it could speed development of better tests and treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
How similar studies have performed: Other consortia and cores (for example ADNI and NACC) have successfully used similar cohorts and biospecimens to advance biomarkers and trials for Alzheimer's disease.
