Projects

We are currently working with collaborators for shared research on:

  • Cohort expansion of the 10-year Marikina Memory and Aging Project

  • Characterization and extension of recruitment of members of familial Frontotemporal Dementia with mutations in progranulin and optineurin genes

  • Neuroimaging Analysis of fMRIs of participants in the Filipino Multicomponent Intervention to Maintain Cognitive Performance among High Risk Population (FINOMAIN)

  • Analysis of blood-based biomarker for Alzheimer’s Disease

We collaborate with:

  • Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative 
  • Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium (COSMIC), Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA), UNSW Medicine, School of Psychiatry, Australia
  • National Institute of Neuroscience (NNI) Singapore and FTD-Asia
  • Worldwide FINGERS 
  • Centre for Research and Development in Learning (CRADLE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore 
  • Clinical Neuroscience Center, Seoul National University-Bundang 

We are in search for funding for two of our programs in development:

1. PHILIPPINE HEALTHY BRAIN AND AGING PROGRAM (HANDOG)

This program includes:

Project 1: Ten-year follow-up of the prospective Marikina Memory and Aging Project Cohort (MMAP-10)

Project 2: Development of National Health Information System (HIS) Framework for the HANDOG Program (iHANDOG Framework Development)

2. ProgRAm to suppoRt pErsons with disease frontotemporal dementia (RAREdisease-ftd)

This program includes 2 projects:

Project 1: Familial Frontotemporal Dementia Cohort Study

Project 2: Sporadic Frontotemporal Dementia Study
