Our mission is to conduct and support research toward a personalized, predictive, and preventive cure for neurodegenerative diseases.
The goals of the NRI-Initiated research are to:
Better Understand the Root Cause of the Disease
Identify Techniques for Early Diagnosis
Make Meaningful Scientific Contributions to Find a Cure
NRI-Initiated Research
The NRI believes we can best achieve our goals by focusing on four areas.
01
AI & Machine Learning
Synthesize the data to identify significant correlations and signatures
02
Genetics
Perform gut microbiome sequencing and targeted human genome sequencing
03
Biomarkers
Test for early diagnosis
04
Patient & Family History
Understand potential familial and environmental factors
The Research We Support
The NRI collaborates with innovative partners, such as Cortex.
A major challenge faced by clinical trials is finding patients to participate. Most researchers only have access to those within driving distance of an academic institution, which only accounts for 15% of patients.
Cortex connects researchers to the remaining 85%, empowering more trials to get off the ground.
