Advancing Alzheimer's Research Through Network Collaboration
NACC's mission is to accelerate Alzheimer's disease research by fostering collaboration across the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) network. Our semiannual meetings are central to this mission, bringing together leaders and researchers from ADRCs and partner organizations focused on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD).
These dynamic gatherings have become a vital hub for scientific exchange across the ADRC and AD/ADRD research network. Through carefully curated scientific sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities, researchers share discoveries, build partnerships, and advance methodologies in AD/ADRD research.
The ADRC meetings showcase our network's collaborative innovation across multiple domains: biomarker discoveries, clinical assessment advances, multimodal data sharing, and community engagement initiatives. This exchange of ideas and methods continues to drive progress in understanding and treating AD/ADRD.
