Resources for Researchers
The KU ADRC can provide access to well-characterized clinical cohorts, databases generated through studies of these cohorts and biospecimens.
In addition to offering an array of standard and specialized research and educational services, we also provide a number of specialized services that allow us to characterize Alzheimer's Disease metabolism at a highly sophisticated level, from the molecule/organelle to the cell to the brain to the whole organism. We are able to support integrated metabolic studies in animal models, tissues from deceased human participants and living human participants.
ADRC Developmental Project Program
The KU Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and the Landon Center on Aging administer a competitive grant program to support innovative pilot studies relevant to Alzheimer's disease and brain aging. The KU ADRC will release the Request for Applications during the fall semester of each year. Contact the Program Officer, Jill Morris, jmorris2@kumc.edu for more information.
