Registered Nurse

DESCRIPTION

The Badhwar MiND Lab at CRIUGM is pleased to announce funding for a new research study and is seeking a registered nurse to assist with peripheral blood draws. Testing will be conducted throughout the day and will require approximately 1–2 hours of availability per day. Nurses will be compensated on a per-participant basis. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease begin years, often decades, before clinical symptoms are obvious, making early detection one of the greatest barriers to developing effective treatments. Earlier and more accurate identification of at-risk individuals will: Enable better participant selection for clinical trials, enrolling those most likely to benefit, accelerate the testing and development of new therapies, and inform future preventive and disease-modifying trials, at a stage when cognitive decline may still be altered or reversed.

• Advanced data analysis to identify which combinations of VR
