Alzheimer's Disease Research Center
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (PITT-ADRC) aims to be a focal point of innovative research on the cause and effective treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). While serving as a local resource for outreach, education and support to patients and caregivers at all stages of the disease, we focus our research efforts on the transition from normal aging into the earliest detectable stages of cognitive declin and have pioneered transformative amyloid imaging technology to facilitate these efforts here and around the world. At the PITT-ADRC, we strive to accomplish our goal through: 1) our own research; 2) involving affiliated investigators at the University of Pittsburgh and nearby institutions in both clinical and basic research; 3) collaborations with other members of the Centers Program; and 4) collaborations with other national and international centers of excellence in AD.
