disease research at the USC Center for Personalized Brain Health connects neurology with nutrition and genetics as a path to early detection, prevention, and treatment for comprehensive disease impact. A primary focus is the <em>APOE<\/span><\/em> \u03b54 <\/span>gene variant, the strongest inherited risk factor for Alzheimer\u2019s, and the biological mechanism that the gene helps regulate, namely the body\u2019s processing of lipids such as fatty acids and cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>Our precision health efforts foster new imaging techniques and new biological markers to understand the brain of the <em>APOE<\/em> \u03b54 carrier, decades before the typical onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. We are building AI-driven digital tools for early detection. And we are developing drugs to prevent and treat Alzheimer\u2019s by addressing the brain inflammation seen in <i>APOE<\/i> \u03b54 carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n                    \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--stacking-cards \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--stacking-cards\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"outer-wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"header-container\">\n                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Our Innovations For Personalized Brain Health\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        \n                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--description description-medium\">\n\n    \n  <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the USC Center for Personalized Brain Health, we are discovering new biomarkers, innovating in imaging techniques, deploying digital tools for early detection, and developing personalized lifestyle and pharmacological intervention to reduce brain inflammation and slow disease progression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n              <\/div>\n      \n                <div class=\"cards-container\">\n              \n                  <div class=\"card\">\n\n                      <div class=\"title-description\">\n\n                                                          \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/cpbh\/research\/biomarker-discovery\/\" >Biomarker Discovery<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                          \n                                                            \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>We\u2019re uncovering biological markers for Alzheimer\u2019s disease and building a pipeline of potential treatments that address inflammation in the brain.
