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: Adam Brickman
Institution: College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University
Department: Taub Institute
Country:
Proposed Analysis: We propose to examine whether areas that appear as increased lucency (hyperintense) on T2-weighted FLAIR images are PIB "positive," and, if so, determine whether this varies as a function of location of WMH or as a function of diagnosis (normal, MCI, AD).
Additional Investigators  
Investigator's Name: Frank Provenzano
Proposed Analysis: relationship among PIB, WMH, and cognitive outcomes
  
Investigator's Name: Vanessa Guzman
Proposed Analysis: Relationship among WMH, amyloid, tau, and cognition
  
Investigator's Name: Molly Zimmerman
Proposed Analysis: Relationship among tau, amyloid, white matter hyperintensities, entorhinal cortex volume, hippocampus volume, and cognition
