Principal Investigator:
Philip L. De Jager, MD, PHDMS Genetics aims to better understand the genetic component of demyelinating diseases by doing genetic testing on blood samples of participants. This study involves a one-time blood draw and completion of questionnaires spread out over a couple of years in hopes to better understand the genes that makes one predisposed to Multiple Sclerosis and various other demyelinating diseases. -
Principal Investigator:
Sheng-Han Kuo, MDParticipate in learning more about the physiology of Ataxia or Essential Tremor to evaluate how brain networks are affected when frequency-specific, non-invasive, brain stimulation is applied to people with ataxia or essential tremor as compared to healthy control subjects. This study is for adults over the age of 18, diagnosed with Ataxia or Essential Tremor and healthy adults over the age of 40 who would like to participate as controls. Participation involves one clinic visit for 2 to 3 hours, involving EEG measurements from the scalp (non-invasive), wearable sensors on the hand, feet and... -

Principal Investigator:
Thomas H. Brannagan III, MDThis is a Phase 3, randomized, double blind, study evaluating efficacy and safety of riliprubart versus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in participants with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Overall the study will last about 109 weeks (2 years). Participants must be 18 years old at the time of signing the informed consent form. -
Principal Investigator:
Thomas H. Brannagan III, MDThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of VX-548 in participants with pain due to Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN). To be in this study you must have DPN and be 18 through 80 years of age, inclusive, with presence of bilateral pain in lower extremities due to DPN for at least 1 year. -
Principal Investigator:
Christiane Reitz, MD, PhDWe are recruiting individuals and/or families with members under the age of 65 who have dementia or are experiencing memory problems. Our initial screening can be completed in person or over the phone. The evaluation will take about 1 to 1.5 hours per person and includes a: 1. Blood sample (5 tablespoons) or saliva (1 teaspoon) collection: These blood samples will allow us to examine genes to identify causative mutations. 2. Brief Neuropsychological Assessment. 3. Medical History: A research physician will collect basic medical information on you and your family. This assessment will provide... -
Principal Investigator:
Jason Brant Carmel, MD, PhDThe goal of this research is to combine non-invasive brain and sensory nerve stimulation to investigate their influence on hand function. Many adults with hemiplegic CP no longer actively receive therapies but have further hand goals they want to achieve. The information we learn from this study may help us learn how to design future interventions to help enhance upper limb function. -
Principal Investigator:
Philip L. De Jager, MD, PHDGenes and Environment in MS (GEMS) is a longitudinal cohort study investigating how genetics and environment can lead to the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. We are recruiting first-degree relatives (siblings, parents, and children) of people who have been diagnosed with MS. This study involves the collection of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, biological specimen, including saliva and blood, as well as the completion of questionnaires regarding personal and family health history, diet, and other environmental exposures. The goal of this study is to use these data to develop and... -

Principal Investigator:
Giuseppe Tosto, MD, PhDThis study aims to find genes that cause Alzheimer's Disease in African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos. Participants are eligible if African American or Hispanic/Latino and 60 years of age or older. Study participation would entail completing a memory assessment, having their blood drawn, and a brief physical exam with a questionnaire. Compensation of $50 will be provided, if unable to come to Columbia University Irving Medical Center, home visits are available. Participants can live anywhere in the US.
