Job description


Department Description:
Multi-Partner Consortium to Expand Dementia Research in Latin (ReDLat)
This project fosters a Consortium with support from multiple partners whose goal is to expand dementia research in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The Consortium aims to combine genomic, neuroimaging and behavioral (clinical, cognitive) and social determinants of health data to improve dementia characterization and identify novel inroads to treat neurodegeneration in diverse populations. This >5-year project constitutes an unprecedented opportunity to continue fostering regional synergy and multidisciplinary research to promote harmonization of global strategies to treat and, ultimately, prevent dementia in diverse and underserved populations around the world. We have developed an innovative, harmonized, and cross-regional approach on two of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
This project provides a basic platform anchored in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and Peru, that is supplemented with clinical research expertise from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Fein Memory and Aging Center, genomics expertise from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and bioinformatics infrastructure and expertise from HudsonAlpha. Satellite projects also expand the initial ReDLat initiative to include family assessments, EEG recordings, natural speech analysis, epigenetics, circadian characterization, and learning experiences.
ABOUT THE EDWARD AND PEARL FEIN MEMORY AND AGING CENTER
The mission of the Edward and Pearl Fein Memory and Aging Center (Fein MAC) is to provide the highest quality of care for individuals with cognitive problems, to conduct research on causes and cures for degenerative brain diseases, and to educate health professionals, patients and their families.
