The ADRCs have come together as a consortium to focus on a set of joint objectives that will propel the entire field. The consortium will use advanced brain imaging and fluid biomarkers to identify the multiple causes and their associated temporal characteristics that lead to eventual dementia. It is this additional disease burden that our consortium will bring to light by developing tools for more accurate diagnosis and staging of disease(s). The consortium, headquartered at UW-Madison, is funded by NIH and will bring resources at an unprecedented scale to the network of ADRCs.
