Unique to the KU ADC are the core research areas of Mitochondrial Genomics and Metabolism and Neuroimaging. The KU ADC has successfully developed and recruited leading researchers from around the country who are applying state-of-the-art brain imaging techniques and in advancing research in cell metabolism in older adults. The KU ADC has established itself as a pioneer in research that seeks to understand relationships that exist between our genes, the structural changes that take place in the brain as we age, and Alzheimer's disease.

We are experienced in caring for patients with Alzheimer's disease and memory problems and proficient in the research process.
