Morris Lab
John Carl Morris, MD
The focus of John Morris’ research and practice is Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders associated with aging. Specific research interests include improving the diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, clinicopathological correlations in dementing disorders, evaluating new drugs for the treatment of dementia, establishing phenotypes for inherited forms of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and identifying preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease by biomarker and neuroimaging studies.
