Opportunities exist to participate in local, national, and international research consortiums. Big-data and team-based approaches are integral with opportunities to collaborate with neurologists, geriatricians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, geneticists, and neuroradiologists. The Biggs has a robust biobank and brain bank, multiple 3T MRI, in-house cyclotron for collaborative PET studies, and also imaging analysis-ready pipelines and computational resources. Several funding mechanisms for pilot grants are available through the UTHSA Long School of Medicine and the South Texas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center to support junior faculty in developing new projects. There is a strong, supportive, clinical research infrastructure in place.
