Why are we researching Alzheimer’s?

Alzheimer’s is one of the largest health challenges of our generation yet we know little about the relationship between cognitive health and lifestyle habits. With your participation, we can change that.

We know little about how risk factors for Alzheimer’s like diabetes, high blood pressure, activity level & nutrition cluster to produce the disease. Our vision is a world without dementia. Our mission, to create a roadmap to understand how dementias develop across the lifespan so we can work with partners to prevent, and in time, cure Alzheimer’s Disease.

— Mylea Charvat, Ph.D., CEO & Founder

We are facing an unprecedented demographic change. More people in the world are now over the age of 65 than are under the age of 5. Healthy aging should be a paramount priority for all of us. Innovative approaches to the prevention and treatment of diseases—like Alzheimer’s—that are common at older ages stand to transform the health of populations for this and future generations.

When you are young, through experiences you make memories worthy of a lifetime, when you get older you want to look back en enjoy these memories.
