Be part of something life-changing
The AIBL study uses biomarkers in the body to identify Alzheimer’s disease risks in a person. Participating in this research may help you detect early brain changes and identify your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The ongoing success of our research relies on the generosity of volunteers. Your involvement helps researchers develop earlier detection methods and treatments.
PARTICIPATING IN A STUDY
What to expect
Participants are invited to complete a study visit every 12–18 months. Study visits include:
- a fasting blood test
- brief interview
- neuropsychological testing
- questionnaires about daily functioning, medical history, family history and mood and thinking skills.
Visits take approximately 2.5–3 hours to complete. Participants are also invited to participate in separate imaging visits (MRI brain and PET scans) and undergo a voluntary lumbar puncture.
