Check out this important new work from Pitt's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center investigators and colleagues on AD blood biomarkers in Caribbean men and women of African Ancestry. Investigators found important sex differences that need to be further evaluated.

Learning about community engagement from Dr. Ann Cohen Alzheimer Biomarkers Consortium — Down Syndrome

We are building a strong blood biomarker lab and capacity at Pitt's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Pitt Psychiatry. One of our starting points was to streamline biobanking across studies. This guideline article resulted from that. We share our protocols, tips and tools for successful biomarker studies.

Two papers in two days for the #KarikariLab. Paper 1 gives guidelines for blood biobanking to support biomarker studies. Paper 2 reports association of plasma biomarkers with baseline cognition & longitudinal change in the population-based MYHAT study. Pitt Psychiatry Pitt's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center
