• PROMOTE a culture of creativity, community, collaboration, and mentorship

All of our brains are at risk. Of the top 10 causes of death in America, Alzheimer’s is the only disease that cannot be prevented, cured, or significantly slowed.

Currently, very few FDA-approved drugs are available to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s treatments focus on symptom management and, in early stages, slowing disease progression. Options include FDA-approved amyloid-targeting infusions,  medications aimed at improving cognitive function and memory, and supportive non-drug approaches including diet, exercise and social activity.
