Dr. Wang as PI Subaward on Alzheimer Association Grant on ADNI2 Add-on Project

Dr. Wang is working with Drs. Michael Weiner/Susanne Mueller (co-PIs, UCSF lead site), Dr. Paul Yushkevich (U Penn), and Dr. Koen van Leemput (Harvard) on a project entitled “ADNI 2 add-on project: Superior power of hippocampal subfield measurements compared to conventional hippocampal volumetry for the early diagnosis AD and prediction of AD related cognitive decline.” This project is funded by the Alzheimer Association, aiming to use multiple approach to measure hippocampal subfields using a new high-resolution T2-weighted sequence to detect the earliest hippocampal manifestations of AD. For details, see ADNI 2 add-on: Hippocampal subfield measurements for the early diagnosis AD and prediction of cognitive decline (NU Subproject)
