Project Period

The ACAD project will build the first major AD genetics study for Asians in the US and Canada. Successful completion will lead to new genetic and lifestyle screening markers for Asian Americans and insights about novel therapeutic targets for AD. ACAD will be a first network for recruiting and studying AD in Asian Americans that will extend to Asian Indians, Filipino and other Asian American populations in the future, serving the unmet needs of Alzheimer's disease research for Asian Americans.
