Antonio Terracciano, a professor in the Department of Geriatrics, was awarded $163,285 from Johns Hopkins University for the preclinical Alzheimer’s disease consortium.

The preclinical AD consortium was established to develop methods and strategies for combining existing longitudinal study data to generate brain-behavior models that contain minimal bias. These models can then provide a strong foundation for understanding early AD and developing clinical trials in preclinical AD. Johns Hopkins received its funding for this project from the National Institutes of Health
