North Texas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center
UT Southwestern is proud to be the only NIA-supported Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) serving North Texas. We are a comprehensive hub that supports innovative research, offers diverse training opportunities, and provides education that empowers both patients and caregivers.
With the shared goal of enhancing the care and lives of those dealing with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD), our center focuses on examining the role of hypertension and other cardiometabolic factors in the early phases of AD/ADRD, developing innovative biomarkers for early detection, and identifying related therapeutic targets. We bring together nationally and internationally recognized researchers from UT Southwestern, UT Dallas, and UT Arlington. We have experts in neuroimaging, informatics, and machine learning who plan to expand artificial intelligence (AI/ML) capabilities in the neurosciences.
