Purpose

The Arizona Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) is the National Institute on Aging's (NIA's) first statewide AD Center (ADC), the only ADC in the Southwestern United States, and a leading example of statewide collaboration in biomedical research. It capitalizes on Arizona's strengths in brain imaging, genomics, computer science and biomathematics, the basic, cognitive and behavioral neurosciences, clinical, and neuropathological studies of AD, the discovery and evaluation of investigational treatments, and the study of normal cognitive aging.
