Specific research projects range from animal studies testing experimental agents, up to large national multi-center clinical trials of experimental drugs for dementing illnesses. The translation of ideas from the laboratory to the clinic is a particular interest, which is served in part by the Biomarkers core of the Oregon Alzheimer's Center. The Biomarkers Core helps develop blood tests and other disease markers for use in \"proof of concept\" clinical trials which are necessary to move treatment ideas from animal models to human subjects.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDementia is a devastating diagnosis for patients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDementia comes in many forms that can be hard to differentiate.
