[2] She is involved in longitudinal, multidisciplinary work searching for biomarkers that could define the progression of AD in this population.
[1] This wide-ranging investigation includes blood-based biomarkers (like beta-amyloid peptides, protein, inflammatory and lipid profiles); measures of amyloid and tau concentration in cerebrospinal fluid; changes detected with neuroimaging; PET studies of brain amyloid uptake; and genetic variations.
[1] She has been a major recipient of National Institutes of Health and other federal grant-makers for this research.
