Research summary
AI-generated

Karen Crawford's research focuses on the genetic and molecular basis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, including work on blood-based markers, rare genetic variants, and disease pathways. The work also involves large-scale brain imaging and data infrastructure, such as harmonizing and managing datasets from long-term studies of aging and dementia. Some studies use mouse models to explore how specific molecules affect memory and brain cell connections.
