Abstract
The Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) has revolutionized the landscape of Alzheimer’s research through its Informatics Core, which has facilitated unprecedented data standardization and sharing. Over 20 years, ADNI established a robust informatics framework, enabling the validation of biomarkers and supporting global research efforts. The Informatics Core, centered at the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI), provides a comprehensive data hub that ensures data quality, accessibility, and security, fostering over 5600 publications and significant scientific advancements. By embracing open data sharing principles, ADNI set a gold standard in data transparency, allowing over 26,000 investigators from 169 countries to access and download a wealth of multimodal data. This collaborative approach not only accelerated biomarker discovery and drug development and advanced our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease but also has served as a model for other research initiatives, demonstrating the transformative potential of carefully designed informatics models and shared data in driving global scientific progress.
