Research

GERI has continued to see significant growth in its membership in the five short years since we began. The current membership of GERI is over sixty research scientists and physicians. GERI members’ scientific disciplines bridge wide ranges of research interests as can be seen by our members’ research abstracts. Collaboration between members permits us to do unique studies from prenatal/early childhood environmental exposure resulting in geriatric diseases to schizophrenia, and from AIDS infection to cancer. These diseases represent only a few of the wide range of multi-disciplinary research collaborations conducted among GERI members as a result of their varied scientific and clinical interests.

Outcomes of our collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach in GERI include:

  • Studies of human populations diagnosed with:
    • Alzheimer’s disease
    • Cancers
    • Psychiatric Disorders (bipolar disorder & schizophrenia)
    • Genetic based Celiac disease
    • Hemochromatosis
  • Multi-database studies of a massive cohort of people born from 1981-1982 with medically documented environmental exposures.
  • Management of Orange and San Diego County databases for California Cancer Registry
  • Development of custom software for scientific modeling
  • Development of microarray analysis techniques
  • SNP selection
  • Linkage analysis
  • Development of a protein structure analysis laboratory
  • Development of mouse models and specialized cell lines
  • Development of specialized scientific laboratory equipment
