Our scientists have made recent advances in their research that might lead to new treatments. Now is the time! The answer could be a dollar away.
100%, yes that means every dollar until September 1st is going to groundbreaking Alzheimer’s research from a Nobel Prize winning researcher. Join our team here.
Exciting Discoveries in Alzheimer's Disease
The Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation primarily funds the research of Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard. Dr. Greengard and his team of scientists have recently developed new technologies that will accelerate the pace of future Alzheimer's research. Based on these new findings, we have increased our funding commitment to support the promising new research initiatives that are now possible.
35 million people worldwide have Alzheimer’s disease
5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's
Every 70 seconds someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's, now the fifth leading killer, rose 47% from 2000 to 2006
54% of the U.S. population has been touched in some way by Alzheimer's
Presently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's Disease Cause, Care, & Cure
The Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation serves people with Alzheimer's and their families by funding research to understand the causes of, find a cure for, and improve the quality of life for people with this devastating disease. We are committed to making Alzheimer's disease nothing but a memory.
Our team of internationally renowned scientists, under the direction of Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard, has been at the forefront of seminal research that has provided a conceptual framework for modern day investigations into Alzheimer's disease. Our groundbreaking research is the key to finding a cure for Alzheimer's by advancing truly effective therapies that arrest its development or prevent the illness altogether.
