There are many active research projects accessing and applying shared ADNI data. Use the search above to find specific research focuses on the active ADNI investigations. This information is requested annually as a requirement for data access.
| Principal Investigator | |
| Principal Investigator's Name: | Rui Tao |
| Institution: | Florida Atlantic University |
| Department: | Biomedical Science |
| Country: | |
| Proposed Analysis: | using HPLC UV-vis and fluorescence detection, we are currently investigating into nutrient (e.g., amino acids, glucose, and pyruvate) uptake into brain astrocytes and microglia affected by beta-amyloid, including glycolytic pathway, Krebs cycle, and OXPHOS |
| Additional Investigators | |
| Investigator's Name: | Mary Adam |
| Proposed Analysis: | she will use ImageJ Fiji to analyze 18F-flortaucipir (AV-1451) tau PET. findings will be used to understand whether males vs females have different tau in compared with the FDG-PET study |
| Investigator's Name: | Giselle Shim |
| Proposed Analysis: | She will analyze changes in FDG-PET crossing brain regions correlative to cognitive impairment in MCI and AD |
| Investigator's Name: | Rudolf Hall |
| Proposed Analysis: | He will determine if pons and cerebelleum can be used as a reliable reference for changes in brain images. We suggest that skull images may be used as a reference, instead of pons and cerebellum. Thus, he will compare skull, pons and cerebellum. |
| Investigator's Name: | Ahmed Altaher |
| Proposed Analysis: | Ahmed is an PhD candidate working on AI for this AD project. He will explore an AI approach to do FDG-PET analysis using the IDA database |
| Investigator's Name: | Roberto Estevez |
| Proposed Analysis: | Boberto is a graduate student in the lab, seeking a Master's degree. His research project is involved in an AI technology. Using the IDA data, he will train this model toward machine learning. |
