Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center investigators confirm blood test to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease affects memory, thinking, and behavior in ways that not only impacts those living with the disease, but also their families and loved ones. With new treatments now available for people showing early signs of disease, there is a growing need for affordable and easy-to-use tests that can help doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s sooner.

In a new study, researchers in the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) confirmed the accuracy of a simple blood test that can help identify Alzheimer’s, making it easier for more people to get an accurate diagnosis without needing to go through more complicated procedures.

Until now, the most accurate way for doctors to check for signs of Alzheimer’s has been by using costly, and sometimes uncomfortable, procedures such as PET scans or spinal taps. While these techniques are effective, Mayo ADRC researchers have been working hard to find simpler and less invasive ways to detect the disease. Blood tests offer a more affordable, convenient option, and could be a game-changer in communities where access to specialty care is limited. According to Dr. Gregg Day, a neurologist and dementia specialist at Mayo Clinic, “Our study showed that the blood test identified Alzheimer’s [to a degree] that’s nearly as accurate as spinal fluid tests, but much more practical for everyday clinical use.”

In Alzheimer’s disease, toxic forms of two proteins, known as beta-amyloid and tau, deposit in and around brain cells, causing them to malfunction and eventually die. As these proteins build up in the brain, some of their components leak into the bloodstream and can be detected with modern laboratory techniques.

More than 500 patients receiving care for a range of memory issues at Mayo Clinic in Florida took part in the study, allowing doctors to test their blood samples for markers of beta-amyloid and tau. Participants included people from diverse communities and backgrounds with onset of memory loss ranging from early to late-stage disease. They had both common and less common forms of Alzheimer's disease, as well as thinking problems due to other types of dementia, including Lewy body disease and vascular disease. Patients ranged from 32 to 89 years old. Alzheimer's disease was the main cause of symptoms in over half (56%) of participants.

An important next step in this research is to see how well the blood test works in people who may have the very earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease, before memory loss or other symptoms begin. It’s also critical to make sure the test is accurate and reliable for everyone, regardless of race or background.

While the recent study was open to all, more than 90% of the participants were non-Hispanic white. This highlights a major gap: Black and African American communities—as well as Hispanic and Latino communities—are more likely to be affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias, yet are often underrepresented in research studies.

There are many understandable reasons for this, including a history of mistrust in the medical system. Even so, getting involved in research through trusted programs such as the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center can be a powerful way to help ensure that new tests and treatments work for everyone. When more people from different communities participate, it helps build a future where all families can benefit equally from medical progress.

A Day in the Life of an ADRC Research Participant

On Monday, June 9th community partners and Ambassadors from the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) visited the campus to see first-hand what it is like to participate in an ADRC study on brain aging and dementia.

Participants experienced the process of checking in for an appointment, saw where blood samples ae collected, observed a demonstration of memory testing, and watched as an international expert on brain diseases showed how crucial information about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is learned by examining brain tissue of people with and without disease during life. Participants also met with ADRC staff, including physicians and scientists, to learn more about what they do and how their work contributes to improved brain health and dementia care for community members.

Meet a Community Champion
Feacher L. Williams Jr., PharmD

Dr. Feacher Williams is an experienced pharmacist who specializes in helping people manage their medications safely through collaboration with doctors, specialists, and their patients. He plays an important role in patient care and safety and is this issue’s ADRC Community Champion for his efforts as a Mayo Clinic ADRC Community Ambassador.

Hello Dr. Williams. Will you please tell us a little about yourself?

I am a lifelong resident of Jacksonville, having graduated from James Weldon Johnson Junior High and New Stanton Senior High School. I then went on to earn my undergraduate and doctoral degree, both in Pharmacy, at the College of Pharmacy at FAMU. I have been a licensed pharmacist for 55 years, and an administrative (clinical) pharmacist for over 40 years. I’ve been married for 52 years and have two children. I’m an Ordained Baptist Deacon and a certified United Methodist steward and Lay Leader.

Early in my career, I worked in Indianapolis and Miami, before returning home to Jacksonville where I married and opened my own pharmacy, Williams Apothecary, Inc. I closed the shop after 15 years and accepted a position with the Department of Veterans Affairs. I served as a Staff Lead and eventually became Director of the largest free-standing pharmacy clinic east of the Mississippi River - and the second largest clinic in the United States. I had the privilege of participating in a pilot DEA study that helped build the current nationwide system for tracking controlled substance ordering. Over time, I saw my staff of 4 pharmacists and 3 technicians grow to 25 pharmacists and 16 pharmacy technicians, with an annual budget of over $3M, and the implementation of pharmacy automation systems worth over $8M.

What has guided your work and your community activities?

I think the quote: “If I can help somebody as a traveler along the way, then my living shall not be in vain” exemplifies my approach to life. It’s a line from the gospel song If I Can Help Somebody (written by Alman Androzzo, 1945) and referenced many times by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his sermons and speeches. I try to live from day to day in service, compassion, and purpose with a kind, unrehearsed smile.

What inspires you to be involved in community awareness and activism?

I’m a firm believer in “Each One Help One”, for it might be just what a person needs at that point in his Life.” As with most young people growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, activism was a way of life to create a of parents and friends trying to make a better life for their families and communities. As the Bible says, “To whom much is given, much is required”.


Why did you become involved with the Mayo Clinic ADRC, both as a Community Ambassador and as a research participant?

Having been actively involved in other corporate research programs related to my employment, upon retirement, the idleness had created a great void. I was invited by Kenneth Reddick (Classmate and lifelong friend) to consider volunteering with Mayo’s ADRC dementia research study. I entered with an open mind, and found it very refreshing - the thoroughness, care, respect, and attention to details shown to the community groups and participants was a resource.

What do you enjoy most about your Ambassador activities?

The most enjoyable part is meeting people who are genuinely appreciative of the efforts to connect the community to resources and services. Mayo Clinic has consistently demonstrated the willingness to engage all communities (in particular, the Black community) in education, research programs, volunteerism, and employment. Outreach is the most important vehicle for keeping the community informed about various goods and services that are available (mostly free or taxpayer-supported) to the community. This is particularly important when considering food deserts and affordable housing, as well as healthcare needs and services.

What do you think about dementia research?

Clinical research is a crucial tool in advancing medical knowledge for all disease states. All the historic medical breakthroughs and advancements are a direct result of clinical research, observations, and medical advancements. Additionally, clinical research sheds light on misrepresentations, social taboos, and fears. Rumors and false representations about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia is slowly being transformed through facts and education about the disease, detection, resources and treatments available.

Meet an ADRC Team Member

Indira (Indy) Moran

Indira Moran, known by many as “Indy”, recently joined the ADRC team and has brought with her a wealth of experience acquired from previous roles. Her career includes working for the Department of Education, the World Bank Children Center, and several non-profit institutions in Virginia and Florida.

Indy’s background is in Early Childhood Education and, until now, she has worked primarily with children and their parents, while also serving as a community liaison. Indy moved from the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area about 20 years ago and settled in Clay County where she still lives.

Once retired, Indy had not planned on embarking on a new career; however, after thinking it over for a while she decided, “Why not try something new?”

Indy was born in Chile and is a U.S. Citizen, having lived in the United States for over 45 years. This year she will be celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary. She has two adult children and is mom to seven cats and one Bassett Hound, which she loves dearly.

In contrast to her extensive background in Early Childhood Education, her knowledge of memory and aging was limited when she joined the ADRC. While in training, her curiosity grew strong and she read everything she could get her hands on regarding the brain, causes of dementia, and how research can help.

“Seeing how little I knew about dementia at first, I realized there is a real lack of information out there about Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body dementia and other related dementias, especially in communities like mine that are at greater risk of these diseases.”

Indy’s role in the ADRC takes her out into the community several times a month, where she tries to inspire people to take their brain health seriously. “When I am out in the community, I encourage people to ask questions, not just listen but to ask about brain health, and how dementia manifests in them or loved ones. I encourage them to investigate their family history and check their own health and habits.”

One of her more important roles is to make sure everyone is aware of the opportunities for community members to participate in clinical trials seeking better ways to treat Alzheimer’s disease. “Six months into my position I was asked to lead efforts promoting Mayo Clinic’s role in the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium (ACTC)”. The ACTC is a group of top scientists, doctors, and research institutions across the United States who are joining forces to test new treatments, early detection tools, and prevention strategies for Alzheimer’s disease. It brings together over 30 universities, hospitals, and memory centers to make studies more efficient, inclusive, and accessible, especially for communities that have been left out of research in the past. Indy says that the goal of this partnership is “to speed up discoveries, improve access, and bring us closer to real solutions that benefit all communities”.

In addition to spreading the word about research, Indy has also taken the lead on a project expressing gratitude to Mayo ADRC research participants. “I have lead efforts to develop a participant recognition program, making sure all of our research participants know they are appreciated. We provide a gift bag of brain health goodies, personalized thank you cards, and invitations to ADRC events in the community. I look forward to checking in with our participants, hearing their thoughts, and creating new and more innovative ideas for engagement in the future.”

If all that isn’t enough, Indy has learned how to administer ADRC tests of memory and thinking ability, becoming a certified Psychometrist and collecting valuable memory information from study participants.

When Indy isn’t working, she loves biking and taking walks with her husband. She plans family gatherings with her children and friends where they savor big meals, play board games, and work on arts and crafts projects. She also appreciates her quiet times gardening, reading, and knitting.. But she’s not ready to slow down yet. “I love the community and want to do as much as possible to volunteer and participate in cultural, educational, and social justice activities whenever possible!”

Thank you, Indy, for all you do for the Mayo Clinic ADRC and our community!

To join or not to join (a research study)?

To join, or not to join — that is the question many face when asked to take part in a research study. Should I do it? Is it safe? Will it actually help anyone like me? These are real and important questions.

Maya Angelou once said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

The Mayo Clinic ADRC seeks to better understand, treat and someday cure Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). This includes finding ways to maintain the highest quality of life for those with ADRD, their families, and care providers. The paths to better understanding and better care fall into two broad categories: Observational Studies and Clinical Trials.

This article shares what research studies are all about, including what is asked of people before and after joining a study. When people are informed, they can make choices that are right for them, including choices that can help others along the way.

Observational Studies are research programs where scientists watch, track, and learn from people over time, without changing anything about their medical care. When it comes to aging and dementia, these studies help us better understand who gets dementia, how it progresses, and what might protect the brain as we age.

Observational study volunteers typically share information such as their health history, family history, and lifestyle habits. They may participate in memory testing and brain scans, and/or give small blood samples for research.

Observational studies don’t test new drugs or treatments, but instead help answer big questions like: Why do some people develop Alzheimer’s and others don’t? What early signs might point to memory decline? Do certain foods, health conditions or life experiences raise or lower risk of getting Alzheimer’s?

Clinical trials are studies that test new ways to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. These trials involve volunteers who help find out if a drug, therapy, or other approach is safe and effective. When someone joins a dementia clinical trial, they become part of a team working toward actively fighting brain diseases. Depending on the study, volunteers may take a new medicine or try out a new therapy, like brain training or exercise. Often, some members of a clinical trial will take inactive or neutral versions of the drug or therapy being evaluated. This is called a “placebo” and is needed to make sure any observed changes are due to the active therapy itself and not due to things like the attention or social interaction volunteers receive from being in a study, or from the belief that something is helping.

Clinical trial volunteers usually share the same or similar information as volunteers in observational studies, including history information, memory testing, brain imaging, and blood samples. They meet regularly with investigators to track progress and monitor safety, which is always top priority.

Steps to joining a study. Regardless of the type of study they wish to join, people who are interested in participating in a research project typically move through several steps before enrolling. These steps are: Prescreening, Informed Consent, and Additional Screening, which ultimately lead to Study Visits.

A better future through research. Dementia research is not experimenting on people, its making progress together with people. Those who may be interested in joining a study don’t have to say yes right away. Just asking questions and learning more is a strong first step. Unfortunately, Black, African American, Hispanic, and Latino adults are underrepresented in dementia research even though they are at greater risk to develop Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia condition. That means we don’t always know if new treatments will work the same in all people, or if something better could be discovered if all people are more fully represented in the studies.

By joining studies, you can help make sure that future breakthroughs work for everyone. Your voice, your experience, and your participation matter. If you would like to learn more about ADRC research opportunities, see the back page of this newsletter to learn how to connect with us.

  5. Continue to baste and bake until fish flakes easily, about 20 to 25 minutes total.
  6. Transfer salmon to plates (over greens, if using). Add tomatoes/nuts, if using. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with reserved maple syrup mixture. Garnish with fresh mint or parsley.

Supporting Families Facing Lewy Body Dementia: A New Study to Better Understand Caregiver Stress

Dr. Karen Fingerman

The Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) has teamed up with Dr. Karen Fingerman, a psychologist and Professor from The University of Texas at Austin, to spread the word about Dr. Fingerman’s new study focused on the daily experiences of caregivers supporting loved ones living with Lewy Body dementia (LBD).

What is Lewy Body Dementia?

Lewy Body dementia is the second most common form of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's disease. It happens when abnormal protein deposits - called Ley bodies - build up on the brain and disrupt how brain cells work together. LBD affects not just memory and thinking, but also movement, mood, sleep, and behavior.

A Disease That Affects the Whole Family

Like Alzheimer’s, LBD impacts the entire family, especially the person who provides day-to-day care. Caring for a loved one with LBD can be uniquely stressful. Symptoms can change quickly—even within the same day. A loved one might seem clear and alert one moment, then confused or restless the next. Hallucinations, mood swings, and sleep disruptions can also be part of the experience. These ups and downs make it hard for caregivers to know what to expect and how to help.

Even with all these challenges, families caring for someone with LBD often receive less support from the healthcare system than those caring for loved ones with other forms of dementia.

A Study That Looks at the Real-Life Struggles—and Strengths—of LBD Caregivers

Dr. Fingerman is leading the first study of its kind to track the daily experiences of caregivers for people with Lewy Body dementia—both day and night. She hopes to understand what caregivers are going through in real-time, and how their stress levels and experiences change throughout the day.

Here's how it works:

  • For four days, both the caregiver and their loved one with LBD will wear a Fitbit to monitor heart rate andsleep patterns.
  • Every three hours during the day, caregivers will complete a short (5-minute) survey about their loved one’ssymptoms, their own stress levels, and the ups and downs of caregiving.

According to Dr. Fingerman, “this information will help us see what types of situations lead to higher stress or sleep problems. It will also help identify moments of strength, hope, or relief—because caregiving can bring both challenges and rewards.”

Working Toward Better Support for Our Families

Dr. Tanis Ferman, a clinical neuropsychologist at Mayo Clinic and an expert in Lewy Body dementia, believes this research can lead to better support for families: “We need better tools and resources to make life easier for caregivers of loved ones with LBD. My hope is that the information learned from Dr. Fingerman’s study will lead to the ability to develop personalized strategies that fit a caregiver’s real-life needs.”

Who Can Participate?

This study is open to any unpaid family caregiver who lives with, and is the main person looking after, a loved one with a diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia. To participate, both the caregiver and their loved one will be asked to wear a Fitbit device on their wrist for four days and nights.

As part of the study, the caregiver will also take part in a one-time, 90-minute interview to share their caregiving experiences, and a 15-minute training session to walk them through the surveys they will be completing during the day. Dr. Fingerman and her team will be available to answer any questions and make sure everyone who wishes to participate is comfortable with the process.

Why This Study Matters

Lewy Body dementia is a tough diagnosis, and caregivers may not always feel seen, heard, or supported. This study is a step toward changing that by making sure the voices and experiences of the caregiver are included. Participating in this kind of study is not only about helping a loved one today—it’s about building a better future for families facing this disease tomorrow.

Brentwood Neighbors: Coming together for the Community

On May 27, members of the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) met with Brentwood Neighbors and 2nd Mile Ministries to share findings from recent community focus groups held earlier this year to better understand the brain health and dementia-care needs of neighborhood residents as they age.

Dr. John Lucas, Director of Community Outreach for the Mayo Clinic ADRC, presented key themes that came up in the focus groups, which included concerns about limited awareness of things that can be done to improve brain health and protect against dementia, confusion and misinformation about Alzheimer’s disease, and not having trusted, local sources for information or support.

Together, the group discussed ways to build on Brentwood’s existing strengths while addressing these gaps - working toward a community that is more informed and more supportive of people living with memory challenges. The partners agreed to reconnect and explore next steps. after community leaders have had a chance to reflect on the ideas.

The conference provides practical tips for care, expert presentations, and opportunities to connect with support networks and local services. By offering this event annually, the ADRC reaffirms its dedication to empowering families with knowledge, fostering community support, and advancing awareness about Lewy Body Dementia.


New Town’s Dementia Friendly Community: Celebrating 8 Years of Partnership

This July marks the 8th anniversary of the New Town Dementia Friendly Community! This partnership between New Town residents, the Mayo Clinic ADRC, and Edward Waters University was developed to honor our elders by making sure that people with memory loss—and the families who care for them—are treated with dignity, not shame in a community where we look out for each other, share knowledge, and make sure no one walks this journey alone. From the church pew to the barbershop to the community center, everyone has a role in creating a space where our loved ones with memory loss can feel safe, understood, and valued.

To celebrate our New Town partners, we are pleased to present a page from the very first issue of the New Town newsletter, edited with assistance by Mrs. Shirley Brown, describing steps residents took on the journey to become “dementia friendly”.


Under Mrs. Brown’s guidance, the newsletter, which later took the name “Dementia Connection” served as a wealth of caregiver tips, information, and resources for the community. It also promoted the many programs and events offered through the initiative.
