  Collection and storage arrangements as per consent given previously during EPAD LCS. No new collection planned as part of EPAD LCS.

• Research programme

  The resource aims to facilitate research to generate data for understanding of the disease mechanisms, assessing risk factors, support for proof of concept and other trials in AD. The EPAD LCS Bioresource thus consists of a unique set of samples for the study of early brain changes in the brain leading to dementia and is designed contribute to the creation of new diagnostic tests, and to increase the likelihood of successful development of new treatments for the secondary prevention of dementia.
