AAIC Lifetime Achievement Awards in Alzheimer's Disease Research The AAIC Lifetime Achievement Awards recognize a senior investigator whose contributions, whether they have been in research, leadership or mentorship, have shown a lasting impact on the field and whose body of work has demonstrated a career-long commitment towards progress against Alzheimer's and dementia.
An estimated 24 million people worldwide have dementia, the majority of whom are thought to have Alzheimer's disease. Thus, Alzheimer's disease represents a major public health concern and has been identified as a research priority. Although there are licensed treatments that can alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, there is a pressing need to improve our understanding of pathogenesis to.
NIA invites applications for the Leadership Award for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Research (R35). Applicants will be supported to develop and implement innovative multidisciplinary research and mentoring programs through an interchange of ideas that enable individuals and their institutions to strengthen existing programs and the development of new research programs that are.
INTRODUCTION. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes severe cognitive decline, short-term memory loss, impaired speech, and ultimately an inability to function in day-to-day activities ().AD is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, currently afflicting nearly 5.8 million Americans with an expected doubling as the population ages in.
The goal of an Ethics Review is to address ethical issues that alter progress in Alzheimer’s disease research, clinical practice, and policy. Ultimately the aim is to highlight and target unresolved issues where failure to act or resolve disagreements leads to bottlenecks in productivity in research, policy, and clinical services. Ethics Review is slightly different from a JAD typical review.
Research Models Alzheimer's Disease. View Commonly Used AD models. There is a large ongoing effort to characterize animal models of AD in order to better understand disease pathophysiology as well as to identify models suitable for investigating potential therapeutics. By organizing information about the characterization of selected AD models, this resource conveys what is known about each one.
Current Alzheimer Research publishes peer-reviewed frontier review, research, drug clinical trial studies and letter articles on all areas of Alzheimer’s disease. This multidisciplinary journal will help in understanding the neurobiology, genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of Alzheimer’s disease. The journal publishes objective reviews written by experts and leaders actively.
