Jeffrey M. Burns, Burns, MD, MS

Professor
University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Center
Fairway, Kansas

Dr. Burns started the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical research program at KU in 2004 after completing an AD research fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. His goal has been to stimulate and support AD and aging research locally while pursuing research investigating how various lifestyle factors influence brain aging and AD. The program has grown into a vibrant research and training environment for AD and brain aging research. Dr. Burns has received NIH funding for his work assessing the roles of fitness in brain aging and AD progression including funding for exercise intervention trials assessing the role of exercise in brain health. Additionally, Dr. Burns directs the KU ADC Clinical Core and the AD Clinical Trials Unit, which is part of the national Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Consortium. Dr. Burns also started and directs the KU Memory Care Clinic. His clinical and research experience have informed and motivated the need for new models of care for our aging population.
