Detection of blood-based biomarkers for Huntington’s Disease

As a Center of Excellence project, the Detection of blood-based biomarkers for Huntington's Disease leverages multidisciplinary teams and patient-facing services that support recruitment, clinical assessment and longitudinal follow-up, while connecting to HDSA's professional resources and research networks. The Center lists clinical leadership including a Director and Co-Directors spanning genetics, neurology and psychiatry and integrates social work support to facilitate care and research engagement. The HDSA ecosystem described in the Center's materials includes pathways for participation in trials, online surveys and educational outreach, providing avenues for study dissemination and participant support. The project represents a component of HDSA's broader strategy to increase the number of scientists working on HD and to shed light on disease biology, with the Center serving as a critical local hub for research, care and community engagement.
