The Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation is an organization that provides millions of dollars for novel Alzheimer’s research all over the world to investigate the latest, most promising research available. Our mission is to understand the causes of Alzheimer’s disease, improve the care of people living with it, and find a cure. A majority of our funding goes to the Fisher Center Lab at The Rockefeller University that was under the direction of the late Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard, which is now under the leadership of Dr. Nathaniel Heintz. The Center has provided researchers around the globe with a conceptual framework for understanding the disease process and continues to be at the forefront of one day finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. We also fund research at NYU Langone, where a handful of clinical trials are taking place. The Foundation’s national comprehensive Alzheimer’s Information Program, the heart of which is the Foundation’s website, www.ALZinfo.org continues to spearhead efforts to increase awareness of and education about Alzheimer’s disease to the general public. The website provides in-depth information on the most current research studies, treatments, and disease management approaches. We also publish a magazine (Preserving Your Memory®) that provides readers with information about Alzheimer’s and how to take the necessary steps to prepare adequately if they or a loved one fall victim to the disease. Another facet of our Information Program is the e-newsletter, which contains updates and helpful tips. Our vision is working towards a future where Alzheimer’s is nothing but a memory.
