Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, living in Southern Nevada, may be candidates for future related studies supported by this center.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not affected by neurodegenerative diseases would not directly benefit from this specific research coordination.
What this research studies
Our administrative core provides the essential support for the Center for Neurodegeneration and Translational Neuroscience (CNTN), a collaborative effort between the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. We focus on advancing research into neurodegenerative diseases, which are conditions that affect the brain and nervous system. This includes investing in advanced research tools, guiding new scientists, and creating a special program to follow patients with these conditions over time to learn more about their diseases. We also manage the large amounts of health data collected to ensure it is secure and useful for discoveries.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This work could lead to a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, improved diagnostic methods, and the development of new treatments for patients.
How similar studies have gone: This administrative core builds upon established models for coordinating complex research efforts, which have proven successful in other large research centers.
