The Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment (CART) is a multidisciplinary clinical research team dedicated to the advancement of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapeutics through innovative research. Our mission is twofold: to improve the early diagnosis of AD by employing more sensitive clinical evaluations, biological markers, and neuroimaging; and to assess promising new treatments for AD.

Our multidisciplinary team at CART is engaged in clinical research. Clinical research is the study of health and illness in people. It is how we learn to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness. In a clinical research study, participants undergo clinical evaluations, such as testing of cognitive function, behavior, daily functioning, physical exams, blood tests, and brain scans.

Throughout our work, the CART staff are fully committed to racial and social justice. We value ALL people and strive every day to help bridge the gap of inequity in healthcare and research.
