How AI Is Changing the Pace of Discovery for Millions Living With Dementia

The Consortium for Biomedical Research and AI in Neurodegeneration (C-BRAIN), launched in November 2025 and led by Dr. Randall Bateman, is using AI to accelerate Alzheimer's research by unlocking and synthesizing previously inaccessible data, aiming to speed discovery from weeks to hours.
