Clinical and Translational Research Core

The Clinical and Translational Research Core (CTRC) is led by Charles Bernick, MD, MPH.

The CTRC creates a Clinical Cohort of AD and PD patients and matched normal controls appropriate for Projects 1 and 2 as well as other junior researchers interested in collaborating with the CNTN. Members of the cohort will be re-examined annually to create a comprehensive longitudinal dataset. The CTRC is responsible for all patient recruitment, application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, and biomarker collection for genetic biomarkers.
