Alzheimer neuroimaging initiative seeks volunteers

The National Institute of Health (NIH) is expanding the Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI), a groundbreaking study that will recruit hundreds of new volunteers across North America to help define the subtle changes that may take place in the brains of older people many years before overt symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease appear.

ADNI is the largest public-private partnership to date in Alzheimer’s disease research. It is led by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at NIH.

Sunnybrook is one of the participating sites. For more information, please call Ms. Joanne Lawrence or Mr. Kamshad Touri, the clinical trial coordinators, at: 416 480 6108 or email Joanne.lawrence@sunnybrook.ca or Kamshad.touri@sunnybrook.ca.
