Researchers at Drexel University are conducting a study to learn more about how cognitive and behavioral factors influence employment outcomes and independent living skills in young adults with Down syndrome.

The Trial-Ready Cohort-Down Syndrome (TRC-DS) routinely monitors study participants, between the ages of 25-55, for any changes to their brain health or function over time through blood tests and brain imaging to eventually match them with applicable Alzheimer's disease clinical trials.
