Dr. Betthauser is interested in understanding the chronological sequence of events in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers. The central focus of his research lab is to better understand and characterize the earliest detectable changes in AD using biomarkers, and characterize how these biomarker changes can inform patient prognosis and improve diagnostic accuracy of AD during life. Dr. Betthauser is committed to developing practical tools that can be integrated into the clinic to improve patient care and management.
