Search DIAN Data Resource Requests

In order to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question, please search our database to determine if your topic has already been studied. If you find that your topic or a related topic has already been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about his/her findings to determine how you might proceed. You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. DIAN-D1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process.

Title:DEGENERATION OR PRESERVATION? ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF CHOLINERGIC BASAL FOREBRAIN INVOLVEMENT IN DOMINANTLY INHERITED ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: THE DIAN COHORT

Date of Request:03/01/2024

ID:DIAN-D2406




Aim 1:test the new hypothesis that, different from sporadic AD, basal forebrain volume and functional connectivity are preserved in ADAD




Aim 2:investigate the moderating and/or mediating effects of Amyloid-PET positivity on measures of basal forebrain atrophy and functional connectivity reduction in preclinical versus clinical cases, based on previous findings in sporadic AD




Aim 3:investigate the effect of carrier status on measures of thalamus and cerebellum volumes and functional connectivity




Investigator:Eric McDade, DO

Title:A pretrained foundation model for learning representation of regional tau accumulation pattern

Date of Request:02/15/2024

Status:pending approval

ID:DIAN-D2403




Aim 1:The aim of this study is to develop a model trained on large-scale datasets to recognize patterns in brain images.




Aim 2:The versatility of this model allows for fine-tuning with smaller datasets, making it suitable for implementation in medical institutions with limited data.

Title:Organoid-based lncRNA discovery platform for Alzheimer's Disease.

Date of Request:11/14/2023

Status:pending approval

ID:DIAN-D2325




Aim 1:Generate assembloid cultures (assembled organoids) from familial and sporadic Alzheimer's Disease induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines, as well as their Crispr-Cas9 generated isogenic controls.
