Genetics Core
The Genetics Core is directed by Andrew J. Saykin, Psy.D., Director of the Center for Neuroimaging and Indiana Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, at the Indiana University School of Medicine and Kwangsik Nho, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology & Imaging Sciences. The Genetics Core oversees the banked genetic samples from the ADNI study subjects, which are housed at the National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (NCRAD) at Indiana University, and conducts genetic analyses. The Core focuses on advances in genetics and related -omics to discover, validate, and implement novel biomarkers that can improve the precision and power of AD clinical trials. They work to foster the discovery of novel targets for drug development and early disease detection.
