Vision
Recognizing that Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) are not unitary biologic entities we seek to define subtypes of ADRD that are therapeutically relevant so as to identify the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.
Mission
Harnessing the power of exciting new methods such as artificial intelligence, advances in the understanding of extracellular vesicles, and stem cell derived individualized models of brain disease we seek to disrupt and accelerate treatment development targeting novel therapies to distinct ADRD subtypes.
Alzheimer's and Dementia Research
Big Data Power Analyzing Real World Data from Medical Records
How can we predict individuals at-risk for cognitive decline and faster progression?

Scaling Evidence-Based Care
How can cutting edge quality care be made available to all persons with ADRC throughout Johns Hopkins and beyond?

Expedite Discovery - Closing the Loop
How can we fast track the research from clinic to test tube and back to the clinic with blood biomarkers for subtyping and for advancing therapeutics?

Innovation: Brain Scans
How can existing brain MRI methods be refined for early detection, prognosis, or predicting response to available medications?

Innovation: New Blood Test
Can novel blood tests based on "extracellular vesicles (EVs)” be developed to learn about what’s going on in the brain so as to stage the ADRD brain disease and monitor treatment response?

Innovation: Stem Cell Models
Can blood derived stems cells models be used to test whether individual patients will be helped by available and emerging medication treatments?
