QUEST TO CREATE A WORLD

WITHOUT ALZHEIMER'S​

​

The Alzheimer's Association awarded its largest-ever research grant — nearly $4.2 million over four years — to the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network-Therapeutic Trials Unit (DIAN-TTU), based at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. This grant will enable the program to move forward more quickly with innovative drug and biomarker trials in people with genetically based, young-onset Alzheimer's disease.



To further our quest to create a world without Alzheimer's, we motivate individuals and families to play an active role in research.  The St. Louis Chapter proudly achieved a 65 percent increase in the number of people registered for TrialMatch  , a free individualized trial-matching service to connect people to research studies.
