Gwangju Dementia Cohort Cohort
Building the evidence to overcome dementia — with data.
GARD builds a large-scale multi-omics cohort — integrating clinical, genomic, brain-imaging and biospecimen data — to study the early diagnosis and prevention of dementia.
Research Pillars
Three pillars, one goal.
Cohort building & operation
We follow a large community-based cohort over time to observe changes before and after dementia onset.
Integrated multi-omics analysis
We integrate genomic, imaging, fluid-biomarker and clinical data to uncover the causes and progression of dementia.
Early diagnosis & prevention
We identify risk at the pre-symptomatic stage and build the evidence base for prevention and intervention.
Director's message
"We build the evidence to overcome dementia."
Dementia is no longer a challenge for individuals or single families alone. GARD follows participants from before symptoms appear and integrates clinical, genomic, brain-imaging and biospecimen data to build the evidence for early diagnosis and prevention.
