Origins
Established in 2015, and based in San Diego, California, the Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Research Institute (ATRI) of the Keck School of Medicine of USC is an academic Institute comprised of an unmatched group of expert scientific collaborators committed to advancing the development of new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through innovation in clinical trials. Institute faculty hold appointments in the USC Department of Neurology. The ATRI Section of Biostatistics advances this mission through innovative statistical research and methods, biostatistical collaboration and leadership in research studies, and state-of-the-art education and training programs in biostatistics and clinical trials.
At USC ATRI, we are committed to a culture of equality, inclusiveness, and diversity. Racism and other forms of discrimination are not tolerated in any form. In our role as Alzheimer’s researchers, we are committed to unity, collaboration and collective action. We have a moral imperative to eradicate overt and implicit bias, and the conduct of rigorous clinical trials demands this. We are committed to diversity in recruiting our study participants, as this is the only way we can find answers which serve the health needs of all people. A more diverse workforce enables us to have the most committed and agile minds focused on our very challenging tasks.
