Research Focus
Dr. Richard P Mayeux's lab at Columbia University focuses on studying blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease, particularly in diverse populations. They investigate how these biomarkers can help improve diagnosis and understanding of the disease, using innovative techniques and community-based studies. Their work aims to identify genetic risk factors and how various elements like age, sex, and race impact Alzheimer's diagnosis.
