Institute for Translational Research

Who We Are & Why

The Institute for Translational Research (ITR) is a remarkable team led by Dr. Sid O'Bryant dedicated to our why: a world of optimal brain health for all. Specifically, we focus on exceptional translational research that will lead to precision medicine approaches to brain disease - including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Down syndrome, and Dementia with Lewy bodies.

What We Do

ITR is leading the world in pursuit of research breakthroughs, improved quality of life for all brain health patients and their families, and ultimately optimal brain health for all. We want to understand the biology of the brain, how the brain works, and why the brain is different in some people compared to others. We explore how various factors impact the brain, and how to ensure the medical community can treat each person in the best way possible.

To achieve our why and our goal of precision health for everyone, we have set world records by enrolling over 4,000 participants, who we call our partners. We also invested in a state-of-the-art Clinical Research Center where scientists worldwide can utilize research data to collaborate and develop innovative ways to enhance brain health.
