Summary
The retina of the eye displays features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have developed a new way to take photos of the eye with a rainbow-coloured flash to detect signs of AD. We now want to test how this and other eye imaging methods compare with brain scans and spinal fluid tests to identify people who are at risk of AD. We will use clinical studies, artificial intelligence, mouse models of AD and donated human tissues to achieve our aims. Our goal is to improve AD detection and care.
