Our dedicated Alzheimer’s research team has committed their careers to discovering innovative solutions for individuals and communities most affected by Alzheimer’s disease. By focusing on translational research, we aim to drive breakthroughs that improve patient outcomes, accelerate advancements in Alzheimer’s studies, and enhance the quality of life for patients and their families.
The Institute for Translational Research (ITR) at The University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas, focuses on precision medicine approaches to brain disease, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, Down syndrome, Dementia with Lewy bodies and others. HSC’s ITR is dedicated to understanding and eliminating health disparities in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The Health & Aging Brain Study – Health Disparities (HABS-HD) is the most comprehensive study of Alzheimer's among diverse communities ever conducted.
At HSC, we have a diverse 70-person, dedicated research team, ultramodern brain imaging center, and a state-of-the-art biomarker laboratory. Participants aged thirty and older are recruited from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond.
Our research team collaborates with leading scientists from around the world to (1) develop innovative ways to test for and treat Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases as well as (2) address health disparities in AD.
