An NIH-funded research project led by Boston University Medical Campus to improve diagnosis and understanding of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) through clinical and biomarker studies, aiming to distinguish CTE from other dementias and identify treatment targets.
Description
This project aims to advance the diagnosis of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in life, investigate risk and resilience factors, and differentiate CTE from other dementias through clinical and biomarker profiles. It involves a longitudinal cohort study focusing on developing biomarkers and clinical criteria for diagnosing CTE in living individuals, refining diagnostic criteria, differentiating CTE from other dementias, and supporting future treatment trials.
