The Pharma-Cog initiative under the E-ADNI project aims to identify and develop novel biomarkers that can effectively assess the impact of symptomatic and disease-modifying drugs for Alzheimer's disease in both animal models and humans. The project focuses on creating reliable markers through comprehensive analyses including cognitive tests, MRI scans, blood samples, and other biological assessments. This research, funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative, promotes collaboration between academia and the pharmaceutical industry to enhance drug development and improve outcomes for Alzheimer’s patients.
