Moreover, the AHEAD cluster will complement the Rutgers Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Research Center (RUADRC), a clinically driven center that is part of the Rutgers Brain Health Institute primarily aimed at identifying the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s Disease through novel in vivo and human-derived in vitro models as well new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
