Forty co-investigators at 11 research centers will team up to leverage AI and machine learning to bolster precision diagnostics, prognosis and the development of new treatments for AD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team of experts in computer science, genetics, neuroscience and imaging sciences will create algorithms that analyze data at a previously impossible scale,\u201d said Paul Thompson, PhD, associate director of the INI and project leader for the new grant. \u201cCollectively, this will enable the discovery of new features in the genome that influence the biological processes involved in Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Predicting a diagnosis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s first objective is to identify genetic and biological markers that predict an AD diagnosis \u2014 and to distinguish between several subtypes of the disease. To accomplish this, the research team will apply sophisticated AI and machine learning methods to a variety of data types, including tens of thousands of brain images and whole genome sequences. The investigators then will relate these findings to the clinical progression of AD, including in patients who have not yet developed dementia symptoms. The researchers will train AI methods on large databases of brain scans to identify patterns that can help detect the disease as it emerges in individual patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we get older, each of us has a unique mix of brain changes that occur for decades before we develop any signs of Alzheimer\u2019s disease \u2014\u00a0changes in our blood vessels, the buildup of abnormal protein deposits and brain cell loss,\u201d said Thompson, who also directs INI\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/igc.ini.usc.edu\/\" alt=\"USC leads massive new artificial intelligence study of Alzheimer\u2019s\">Imaging Genetics Center<\/a>. \u201cOur new AI methods will help us determine what changes are happening in each patient, as well as drivers of these processes in their DNA, that we can target with new drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team is even creating a dedicated \u201cDrug Repurposing Core\u201d to identify ways to repurpose existing drugs to target newly identified segments of the genome, molecules or neurobiological processes involved in the disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe predict that combining AI with whole genome data and advanced brain scans will outperform methods used today to predict Alzheimer\u2019s disease progression,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advancing AI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AI4AD effort is part of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/grants.nih.gov\/grants\/guide\/pa-files\/PAR-19-269.html\" alt=\"USC leads massive new artificial intelligence study of Alzheimer\u2019s\">Cognitive Systems Analysis of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Genetic and Phenotypic Data<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/grants.nih.gov\/grants\/guide\/pa-files\/PAR-20-099.html\" alt=\"USC leads massive new artificial intelligence study of Alzheimer\u2019s\">Harmonization of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and Related Dementias (AD\/ADRD) Genetic, Epidemiologic, and Clinical Data to Enhance Therapeutic Target Discovery<\/a>\u201d initiatives from the NIH\u2019s National Institute on Aging.
