Research summary
AI-generated

Kristen A. Russ conducts research on blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, studying how measurable proteins in plasma (such as pTau217, GFAP, and amyloid ratios) relate to cognitive decline, brain imaging, and neuropathology. Much of this work involves large community cohorts and shared research resources like biomarker repositories, and includes comparisons of laboratory measurement methods. Some projects also extend to cognitive risk across diverse populations and unrelated topics such as radiation effects and music therapy for children with cancer.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
