Ongoing Investigations

ADNI data is made available to researchers around the world. As such, there are many active research projects accessing and applying the shared ADNI data. To further encourage Alzheimer’s disease research collaboration, and to help prevent duplicate efforts, the list below shows the specific research focus of the active ADNI investigations. This information is requested annually as a requirement for data access.

Principal Investigator  
Principal Investigator's Name: Sterling Johnson
Institution: University of Wisconsin
Department: Medicine
Country: United States of America
Proposed Analysis: rates of atrophy over time using the pd/t2 and MPRAGE in a multi-channel analysis of CSF.
Additional Investigators  
Investigator's Name: Moo Chung
Proposed Analysis: Voxel-based analyses of cortical shape and thickness using tensor-based morphometry and deformation-based morphometry style methods. We wll analyze changes in structure over time for controls, MCI patients and AD patients. We will also relate these changes to clinical status including measures of global functioning and neuropsychological measures.
  
Investigator's Name: Vikas Singh
Proposed Analysis: Machine learning approaches to discriminating early and pre-dementia AD; machine learning approaches to clinical trial enrichment.
