Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center

该威斯康星州阿尔茨海默病研究中心（ADRC）将建立在威斯康星州（UW）在神经科学研究的大学的显着优势，提供国家的最先进的资源，基础设施，并在阿尔茨海默病（AD）和相关疾病的专业知识。随着对AD临床前和早期诊断和进展的主要关注，威斯康星州ADRC将扩大威斯康星州阿尔茨海默病预防登记处（WRAP）的科学目标，并显着加强对患有AD疾病的威斯康星州居民的护理。由六个核心组成（即，行政，临床，数据管理和生物统计学，神经病理学和生物标志物，教育和转让和少数民族招聘卫星计划），ADRC建立在非常成功的UW AD研究计划和最近的几个收敛的发展。这些发展包括UW领导对AD的新关注，对AD研究的大量机构和国家财政承诺，在UW校园神经科学中的几个著名项目的存在，杰出的UW临床项目，广泛的痴呆症诊断诊所全州网络，通过少数民族招募卫星计划（MRSP）接触少数民族，低收入和农村人口，承认几个华盛顿大学研究人员在AD研究中的地位，以及许多华盛顿大学中心和研究所在老龄化和神经科学研究方面的密切合作。其中，这些中心和研究所包括威斯康星州阿尔茨海默氏症研究所、威斯康星大学韦斯曼中心、威斯康星大学韦斯曼脑成像和行为实验室、NIH/CTSA资助的临床和转化研究所（ICTR）、老龄化研究所、麦迪逊退伍军人事务部（VA）老年研究、教育和临床中心（GRECC）、国家灵长类动物研究中心、生物技术中心、基因组中心和临床和转化研究核心（以前称为UW GCRC）。鉴于获得优秀的资源和专业知识，威斯康星州ADRC已准备好作出新的贡献，AD研究领域，并提供出色的临床护理，从疾病的患病患者。

The Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) will build upon the remarkable strengths of the University of Wisconsin (UW) in neuroscience research to provide state-of-the-art resources, infrastructure, and expertise in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related illnesses. With the major focus on preclinical and early diagnosis and progression of AD, the Wisconsin ADRC will expand the scientific objectives of the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention (WRAP) and significantly enhance care of Wisconsin residents suffering from the devastations of AD. Comprised of six Cores (i.e., Administrative, Clinical, Data Management and Biostatistics, Neuropathology and Biomarkers, Education and Transfer and the Minority Recruitment Satellite Program), the ADRC builds upon the highly successful UW research program in AD and several recent convergent developments. These developments include a new focus of the UW leadership on AD, substantial institutional and state financial commitment to AD research, presence of several renowned programs in neuroscience on the UW campus, outstanding UW clinical programs, an extensive statewide network of dementia diagnostic clinics, access to minority, low-income and rural populations through the Minority Recruitment Satellite Program (MRSP), acknowledged status of several UW investigators in AD research, and close collaborations between numerous UW centers and institutes in aging and neuroscience research. Among others, these centers and institutes include the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute, the UW Waisman Center, the UW Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, the NIH/CTSA-funded Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), the Institute on Aging, the Madison Veterans Affairs (VA) Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), the National Primate Research Center, the Biotechnology Center, the Genome Center, and the Clinical and Translational Research Core (formerly known as the UW GCRC). Given the access to outstanding resources and expertise, the Wisconsin ADRC is well poised to make novel contributions to the field of AD research and provide outstanding clinical care to patients suffering from the devastations of the disease.
