Welcome
20 Years of Commitment to Memory and Aging Research
For the past two decades, The Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (MADRC) has been contributing to the expanding knowledge on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Established at the University of Michigan Health System in 1989, the MADRC is devoted to research, clinical care, and providing current information on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Research is key to finding a cure and helping the millions of people already affected. The MADRC continues to conduct research on brain imaging, observational studies and clinical drug trials.
