The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work has been awarded a $3.4 million grant by the National Institute on Aging for a large-scale study of K-Savvy, a culturally-tailored version of The Savvy Caregiver Program delivered in Korean.
Cutting-edge technologies developed by USC researchers are changing not just the pace of Alzheimer’s disease discoveries but also the ways scientists make those discoveries.
A new National Institutes of Health grant supports the next phase of a national effort to use AI, brain imaging, genetics and data to better classify Alzheimer’s and related diseases, predict progression and identify new treatment targets.
A USC team has identified important differences in how early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes appear across racial and ethnic groups, underscoring the need for more inclusive approaches to studying and diagnosing the disease.
USC researchers are on the cusp of a revolution in Alzheimer’s prevention. In the near future, their discoveries promise to make the devastating disease a thing of the past.
Researchers across USC are studying how lifestyle and environment influence dementia risk and resilience. They’re finding that what’s good for the body is also good for the brain.
Through Pacenote, Tomohiro Nojiri is helping families find nursing home beds and services in real-time.
Subtle changes in how blood flows through the brain and how brain tissue uses oxygen may be closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease risk, new USC research finds.
PODCAST: Kim and Crimmins, one of the world’s leading scholars in aging and population health, discuss how scientists measure aging and longevity — and why living longer does not always mean living healthier.
A multidisciplinary team has developed a selective compound that inhibits an enzyme tied to inflammation in people at genetic risk for Alzheimer’s — while preserving normal brain function and crossing the blood-brain barrier.
