Trainee research panel: What is a biomarker?
Date & Time

Description

This panel will showcase and discuss a few different novel and emerging biomarkers of age-related dementias. We will start with gait and retinal thickness as early biomarkers of age-related dementias. These will be followed by two talks highlighting data-driven approaches in the study of dementia biomarkers. In particular, we will hear about frailty and identification of data-driven frailty profiles, as well as data-driven approaches to increase the robustness and scalability of multisite resting-state functional MRI data. Both frailty and resting-state functional connectivity are emerging biomarkers of dementia.
