ADRC Research
The Stanford Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) supports internal research in the form of developmental projects and Research Education Component (REC) fellowships. Developmental projects are usually conducted over a two year period and are funded for up to $250,000 each. The ADRC has selected four projects (two in 2020 and two in 2021), and we anticipate new projects in 2022 and 2023. Developmental project grants are intended for junior faculty level investigators and for more senior investigators whose research lies in other areas and who now want to work in the field of Alzheimer disease and related disorders.
The Stanford ADRC contributes de-identified data and biological resources to registries and repositories supported by the National Institute on Aging. It supports other research at Stanford University and at other institutions. Center support can include de-identified data (clinical, neuropsychological, structural and molecular brain imaging, genetic, ‘omics, microbiome, and neuropathological), fluid biospecimens obtained from ADRC volunteers (plasma, CSF), fibroblast cell lines, autopsy tissues, biostatistical consultation, and research guidance.
The Stanford ADRC supports research training and education in a variety of ways. The REC fellowship program is described more fully below. This program provides integrated clinical and basic science training opportunities and mentored research experiences. It is designed to prepare the next generation of researchers for careers in brain aging and in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders.
Tabs below provide additional information on developmental projects, REC fellowship projects, ADRC publications, and application materials for both developmental projects and REC fellowships. Titles of internal research supported by the Stanford ADRC during the 2015–2019 funding period are also shown.

Title: Cell type specific transcriptional changes in neurodegenerative disease
Project description: Understanding changes in gene expression in specific cell types between normal and diseased brain is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and identifying novel therapeutic targets. Recovering cell type specific gene expression from tissues is also a major first step towards reconstructing cell specific transcriptional networks, and inferring cross-talk between cell types in disease states. Single cell RNA-seq is widely used, but it is expensive and requires extensive sample processing, which can distort cellular content in tissues and perturb their functional states. Bulk RNA-seq can be applied cost-effectively to large cohorts of clinically annotated patient samples, including archival materials, but it conceals cell type specific changes in gene expression between normal and diseased brain tissue. Computational deconvolution methods applied to gene expression data from bulk tissues can estimate the proportion of different cell types in the mixture and recover cell type specific gene expression data. This approach opens the possibility of identifying cell type specific differences in gene expression between normal and disease tissues without dissociation and single cell processing. We propose to optimize such approaches for the cell types present in brain and validate them for human and mouse in silico. We will deconvolute bulk RNA-seq from human samples with known “ground truth” determined by CODEX (CODetection by indEXing) proteomic imaging. We will then apply this framework to large clinically-annotated data cohorts acquired from normal brain and neurodegenerative disease. We will focus on Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia to identify specific hypotheses that will be experimentally testable by collaborators at the Stanford ADRC.

Title: Lysosomal signaling in microglia and Alzheimer’s disease
Project description: Genome-wide association studies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patient mutations implicate immune pathways in disease onset or progression. Microglia, the primary immune cells residing in the brain, ensure nervous system well-being and function by eliminating dying cells, pruning neural connections, and orchestrating appropriate immune responses. Two key microglial processes – lysosomal activity and inflammatory response – are aberrantly involved in neurodegenerative diseases, but it is not known how these microglial activities become dysfunctional in AD. My preliminary studies demonstrate the importance of two key lysosomal transcription factors, Tfeb and Tfe3 (Tfeb/3), in the function and maintenance of microglia in zebrafish. Although zebrafish cannot be directly used to study AD pathology, their advantages include amenability to live imaging, feasibility of large-scale mutagenesis screens, and optical transparency of embryos. Furthermore, culturing microglia in vitro results in rapid loss of microglial identity. Human TFEB/3 may regulate immune genes in macrophages (progenitors of microglia), and TFEB/3 may be dysregulated in AD. However, the extent to which disruption of TFEB/3 activity in microglia contributes to the pathology in AD is not known.
I have defined a lysosomal regulatory circuit acting upstream of Tfeb/3 in microglia, and in the next phase of my training, I will identify downstream targets of Tfeb/3 using RNAseq in loss and gain of function mutants. I will compare differentially expressed genes to publicly available AD databases. I will use CRISPR mutagenesis to show how Tfeb/3 activity is disrupted in AD to uncover the functions of Tfeb/3 targets. These experiments will advance my training in CRISPR/CRISPRa screens, analysis of AD patient databases, methods to identify and image microglia in vivo, and assays of microglial function (e.g., engulfment and elimination of neuronal debris). Disruption of microglia activity in AD is well appreciated, but a large-scale functional genomic screen of genes associated with AD mutations has not yet been performed.
As an independent researcher, I will capitalize on my training in microglial imaging and lysosomal biology to study genes associated with patient mutations in AD. I will identify zebrafish homologs of genes mutated in AD, prioritize them based on microglial expression or lysosomal function, and perform CRISPR knockout or CRISPRa gene activation, followed by characterization of microglial responses. My proposed research renders microglial biology accessible to live imaging and functional characterization in vivo, and it bridges the gap between genomic resources available for AD and the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of this devastating disease.
Developmental research project (2020) 1.1
Principal investigator: Monther Abu-Remaileh, PhD
Title: Molecular basis of lysosomal dysfunction in neurodegeneration
Project description: Lysosomes are small compartments within nerve cells where macromolecules and damaged organelles are degraded and cleared. Lysosomes serve as major regulators of cell signaling, metabolism and longevity; and lysosomal dysfunction is implicated in causing Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. There is an urgent need to understand the molecular and biochemical basis of lysosomal dysfunction in age-associated neurodegenerative diseases to determine its role in disease pathology. This is a challenging task, because there are few tools to probe the protein, small molecule, and RNA contents of lysosomes. To overcome this hurdle, we recently developed a method to immunopurify lysosomes from cells and tissues, a method we call LysoIP. Purified lysosomes are suitable for small molecule profiling using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. In this proposal, we hypothesize that lysosomal dysfunction drives age-associated neurodegeneration. By profiling lysosomes from cells derived from skin biopsies of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, we will determine the exact biochemical basis of lysosomal dysfunction in these two disorders. We have three aims:
Aim 1: Using our innovative technology, we will generate LysoTag fibroblasts obtained from Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease patients enrolled in the Stanford Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
Aim 2: We will profile the metabolome, lipidome and proteome of tagged lysosomes purified from fibroblasts of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and we will determine the biochemical basis of lysosomal dysfunction in these disorders.
Aim 3: We will determine the consequences of the lysosomal changes we discover in order to understand the biochemical basis of neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Using functional approaches, we will determine the role of altered lysosomal pathways in disease pathology.

Title: Retinal biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases
Project description: Development of effective therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases has been hampered by lack of biomarkers to facilitate early diagnosis of disease and measure early treatment response. The retina is a promising tissue in which to identify biomarkers of neurological diseases because the retina is comprised of neural tissue and can be imaged non-invasively in vivo with high resolution. Historical attempts to leverage in vivo imaging derived retinal measurements in patients with neurological diseases for clinical advantage has been stymied by lack of specificity, which we believe is due to low resolution of clinical retinal imaging modalities. Accordingly, this application seeks to apply state-of-the-art retinal imaging technology to discover features in the retinas of human subjects with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease that can be developed as biomarkers for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and measurement of Alzheimer’s disease progression. We hypothesize that there are specific retinal changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease and that these can be detected using in-vivo ophthalmic imaging. Subjects with Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment and healthy controls will undergo cellular-level retinal imaging with adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. Structural retinal features unique to Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment subjects will be identified through comparison with control subjects. Categorical and continuous measures of retinal structural features will be correlated with baseline cognitive testing, neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid measures collected for Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment subjects through the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center as well as with changes in these measures during the year after retinal imaging. The immediate impact of this project will be to identify specific retinal features in living humans that are candidates for detection of neurodegeneration and progression of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. The features will have direct translational potential as biomarkers that are relevant to human disease and practical for measurement in living humans. In the longer term these will serve as the foundation for new directions for Alzheimer’s disease research in humans, including developing interventions to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Title: Multimodal Deep Learning for Medical Imaging and Clinical Data Fusion: Paving the Way for Better Prediction and Prognosis of Alzheimer’s Disease
Project description: Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning (thinking, remembering, and reasoning) and behavioral abilities to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Worldwide, around 50 million people have dementia, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the intermediary stage condition between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Around one third of MCI individuals progress to dementia within 3 years following the initial diagnosis. Identifying the MCI individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease is crucial for fighting against this disease. Thus, we are developing a variety of multimodal Artificial Intelligence algorithms that can effectively integrate heterogeneous sources of medical data to achieve more reliable and accurate predictions of Alzheimer’s disease, and also increase our understanding of which source(s) of medical data have the greatest impact on the prediction performance. This will help achieve better prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease and also reduce burdens on data collection and patient burnout in clinical practice.
REC fellowship project 2.2
Principal investigator: Joe Winer, PhD, Postdoctoral fellow, Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences
Title: Characterizing relationships between sleep-wake rhythms, neuroinflammation, and cognition in neurodegenerative disease"
Project description: Sleep and daytime activity patterns are known to change across the lifespan, and both are affected in neurodegenerative disease. New research suggests that these changes are not only symptoms of disease, but may affect cognition and disease progression. Actigraphy watches, which use technology similar to the accelerometers in our phones, can be used to collect sleep-wake activity data outside the laboratory. This project will collect actigraphy data from healthy older adults, patients with Alzheimer's disease, and patients with Lewy body disease enrolled at the Stanford ADRC in order to characterize patterns of sleep-wake activity across disease severity. These data will be combined with cognitive assessments and disease biomarkers in order to investigate the contribution of sleep-wake dysfunction to cognitive decline and inflammatory dysregulation in the progression of both Alzheimer's and Lewy body disease.
REC fellowship project 1.1
Principal investigator: Ehsan Adeli, PhD, Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Title: Data-driven stratification of neurodegenerative disorders using video-MRI analysis
Project description: Video recordings of patient movements are commonly used to assess the physical impact of disease as patient are assessed with the Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale or as the Short Physical Performance Battery. Traditionally, videos are then reviewed by medical experts, who categorize the movements in a relatively coarse, imprecise manner. In this project, we propose to quantify movements automatically from video recordings and extract video-based digital biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases. These digital biomarkers will then be related to neural systems obtained from MRI images of the brain. This procedure can automatically relate movement patterns to brain circuitry underlying these movements.
REC fellowship project 1.2
Principal investigator: Tammy Tran, PhD, Postdoctoral fellow, Department of Psychology
Title: Molecular and imaging biomarkers underlying neurodegeneration in aging
Project description: Neuropathological changes emerge decades prior to clinical manifestation in Alzheimer’s disease. Early cognitive decline may be predicted by several pathophysiological abnormalities, detectable by in vivo biomarkers early in the disease trajectory. These include the presence of molecular and imaging biomarkers for tau and amyloid. Cognitive decline may also be predicted by cortical thinning across medial temporal lobe regions, particularly in entorhinal cortex and CA1-SRLM, a sublayer that serves as an interface between entorhinal cortex and other hippocampal subfields. Using high-precision metrics (high resolution 3T and ultra-high resolution 7T MRI), I will examine neurodegeneration (including subregion-specific cortical thickness and hippocampal volume) in relation to examine imaging biomarkers (Tau PET([18]F-PI2620)) and molecular biomarkers (e.g., Ab42/Ab40 ratio, pTau181, t-tau) and investigate how these promising biomarkers correspond to cognitive function in healthy older adults.

An investigator is eligible only once for development project support. You do not have to submit your applications through your RPM.
Senior ADRC faculty are not eligible to submit applications but may be included as unfunded collaborators.
Note: a PI waiver will be required for non-faculty successful applicants. PI waivers would need to be approved by the appropriate schools or Dean of Research. For School of Medicine PIs, requests must be made to the Research Management Group (RMG). For PIs outside of the school of Medicine, the individual must work with their school dean’s office. Postdoctoral fellows in senior, academic trajectory can apply as PI if Co-PI is faculty advisor/mentor who is UTL, UML, NTL-Research, CE) who will in turn be responsible for all oversight, budget and reporting requirements of the project.
Purpose:
The Stanford ADRC focuses on Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body disease, and healthy aging. Proposals should describe innovative basic, clinical, behavioral, translational, epidemiologic, caregiving, or educational research likely to advance the understanding of the basic and clinical underpinnings of Alzheimer’s disease and related cognitive disorders (including Lewy body neurocognitive disorders); aid in prevention or treatment; or enhance caregiving, community outreach and education. Preference is given to proposals that use data and resources from the Stanford ADRC, including clinical data; biological specimens (e.g., blood, DNA, CSF, stool microbiome, skin fibroblasts, autopsy tissues), imaging data (including structural MR and amyloid-PET), and biostatistical resources; or that use data and resources of the National Alzheimer Coordinating Center (https://www.alz.washington.edu/), National Centralized Repository for AD (NCRAD) (https://ncrad.iu.edu/), and the National Institute on Aging Genetics of AD Data Storage (NIAGADS), (https://www.niagads.org/). *Please be sure to address type of ADRC resources and how such resources will be used in your proposal.
This funding mechanism is intended to allow an investigator the opportunity to develop robust preliminary data sufficient to provide the basis for an application for independent research support from the NIH or other agency. Developmental project grants are designed for 1) junior faculty level investigators and 2) for more senior investigators who have experience in areas other than Alzheimer’s disease or Lewy body research, and who want to work in the Alzheimer research field broadly defined or want to try a new hypothesis, method, or approach that is not an extension of ongoing Alzheimer or Lewy body research.
Contact/Questions:
Programmatic questions should be directed to Dr. Katrin Andreasson, chair of the Developmental Project Review Committee (kandreas@stanford.edu), administrative questions to Nusha Askari (askarin@stanford.edu), Senior Administrator of the ADRC.

The Poston Lab seeks to understand the underlying brain circuitry associated with movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, and in particular the changes in this circuitry that lead to specific symptoms, including both motor symptoms and cognitive/behavioral symptoms.
Dr. Sharon Sha, Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology
Dr. Sha’s is Associate Vice Chair of Clinical Research and Director of the Behavioral Neurology Fellowship. Her clinical time is devoted to caring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders and her research is devoted to finding treatments for these cognitive disorders. She runs the Clinical Trials Program for the Division of Behavioral Neurology.
Funding and Eligibility
The Stanford ADRC Research Fellowship is funded by the NIA and the Stanford ADRC. The current annual stipend at the Stanford ADRC is up to $30,000 annually. Funds can be used for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, salary/benefits, funds for coursework or travel to ADRC meetings, and funds for research project-related expenses, if applicable and as the budget permits. Budgeted items must be scientifically justified as essential for a successful fellowship.
Applications will be accepted from two categories: (1) Junior Faculty: defined as an instructor or assistant professor, who have completed an MD and/or PhD with clinical residency/fellowship and/or post-doctoral training, (2) Trainees: clinical fellows (behavioral neurology, movement disorders, psychiatry, neuropsychology, geriatrics, palliative care) post-doctoral research fellows, residents (neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics), graduate students and medical students.
The Stanford ADRC strongly believes in the value of diversity in our training program and we are focused on recruiting and supporting individuals from all backgrounds. We encourage applications from candidates that are underrepresented in medicine, economically disadvantaged, and whose backgrounds or experiences would diversify our clinical field.
Research Fellowship Structure
This fellowship consists of one to two calendar years of training; Scholars start on or around March 1 each year. The length of the proposed training (1 or 2 years) must be scientifically justified as essential for a successful fellowship. At the beginning of the training year, the Scholar will work with the Research Mentor and REC Leadership to develop an individualized training plan that balances taking advantage of the rich training and professional development opportunities with conducting clinical and basic science research in AD and ADRD. An example Training Plan can be found in Appendix B.
Appendix B: Sample Stanford ADRC Research Fellowship Training Plan
Research Opportunities and Expectations
Each Scholar is expected to actively participate in research during their training tenure with the Fellowship. Scholars work collaboratively with their Research mentor to: a) identify or develop meaningful clinical research projects that address key areas within AD and ADRD research b) identify roles on ongoing clinical research projects (including the numerous ongoing projects available at the Stanford ADRC) that may foster the advanced development of both clinical and research skills; and c) participate in the development and submission of empirical manuscripts, grants and other scholarly projects focused on the AD and ADRD.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to consider the use of existing data and biospecimen resources within the Stanford ADRC as well as data of the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center when designing their clinical research projects. Scholars are expected to complete a meaningful research project during their Fellowship, and to consistently show clear markers of their research productivity. Key markers of productivity may include a) the development of a grant proposal; b) generating scientific manuscript and submitting it for publication; and c) presentation of this project at a professional meeting, or some other marker of productivity.
Didactics
Stanford ADRC Research Scholars have the opportunity to participate in many didactics throughout the training year. There are several Core and Optional year-long didactics Scholars will participate in as part of the ADRC (see Table 1), as well as training in Responsible Conduct of Research (if not already completed as part of other training). There are additional didactics Scholars can choose to include in their training plan, including courses in statistics, epidemiology, laboratory methods, image processing, or other topics relevant to their projects and training goals.

Evaluation
The REC Scholar will meet with a member of the REC Leadership team monthly to review the Scholar’s progress towards meeting the goals set for in the Scholar’s Training Plan. This meeting will serve as an opportunity for the Scholar and REC leaders to identify any potential areas for adjustment in the Training Plan, to ensure that the full breadth of experience leading to independence in all competency areas will be obtained by the end of the training period. The training plan will be formally assessed and revised annually.
Application and Selection Process
