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: Charles Malpas
Institution: The University of Melbourne
Department: Medicine, Royal Melbourne Hospital
Country:
Proposed Analysis: To investigate the volumetric correlates of CSF biomarkers of AD at various stages of the disease. This will primarily involve the multiple regression of biomarker covariates on models of cortical thickness. Cortical thickness ROIs will be extracted to allow more complex hierarchical models to be evaluated, including mediation and SEM analyses across groups (NC, MCI, AD).
Additional Investigators  
Investigator's Name: Terence O'Brien
Proposed Analysis: Prof O'Brien is the supervisor of the primary investigator and will oversee all analyses and previously described.
  
Investigator's Name: Michael Saling
Proposed Analysis: Supervision of Charles Malpas.
