A Designated Center of Excellence for Dementia Research
Our researchers are dedicated to finding tomorrow’s treatments today through innovative research and clinical trials.
As a National Institute on Aging (NIA)-designated Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, we collaborate with other designated centers nationwide that have produced many of today’s research findings and resources for addressing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
We also work closely with the Sam & Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity & Aging Studies at UT Health San Antonio, the only aging-intensive research institute in the country to have two NIA-funded centers.
Together with other leading institutions and our patients and their families, we work to find new and better ways to diagnose, treat and prevent dementia.
