Award for research to identify blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease in diverse populations to improve diagnosis and treatment.
Description
This project aims to identify blood multi-omic central-linked peripheral molecular signatures (CLPMS) that may serve as blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in African American and Latino populations, leveraging existing cohorts and data from multiple research centers. The goal is to improve diagnosis, predict disease progression, and understand population-specific mechanisms to enable precision medicine and tailored therapies.
