CLEVELAND–Researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, with colleagues from the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami, Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain, at Columbia University, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine will study the genomics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in people with African heritage throughout the United States.
Funding of nearly $3 million from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will include enhanced support for outreach and recruitment in Greater Cleveland, building on existing work to engage African American participants for the study.
“Alzheimer’s disease is a complex condition with genetic as well as environmental and behavioral risk factors that can be informed by socio-economic realities,” said
