Agora — Alzheimer's Disease Gene Evidence Portal
Agora is a publicly accessible data portal developed and maintained by
Sage Bionetworks, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit biomedical research organization,
with funding from the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Agora is part of the broader
AD Knowledge Portal ecosystem at
adknowledgeportal.org.
About Agora
Agora hosts high-dimensional human transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic evidence for
whether or not genes are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). It also contains a list
of over 950 nascent AD drug targets nominated by researchers from the National Institute
on Aging's Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD) consortium,
the Target Enablement to Accelerate Therapy Development for Alzheimer's Disease (TREAT-AD)
centers, and other research teams.
Evidence presented in Agora was generated by AMP-AD and TREAT-AD research teams or
aggregated from publicly available data sources. Agora was initially developed by the
NIA-funded AMP-AD consortium to share evidence in support of AD target discovery.
About the AD Knowledge Portal
The AD Knowledge Portal (adknowledgeportal.org) is an open-access database developed by
Sage Bionetworks that disseminates data, tools, and analytical results generated by
multiple National Institute on Aging-funded programs focused on aging, dementia, and
Alzheimer's disease. The portal hosts data and resources generated across 100+ grant
projects in 10+ NIA-supported programs and centers, including multi-omic data from human
samples and experimental model systems.
The portal was developed as part of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Alzheimer's
Disease (AMP-AD) program between the NIH and several nonprofit organizations and
pharmaceutical companies, and has since expanded to include data from additional
NIA-funded consortia.
What You Can Do on Agora
