About The Fisher Center For Alzheimer's Research Foundation

Our team of internationally renowned scientists, under the direction of Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard, has been at the forefront of seminal research that has provided the conceptual framework for modern day investigations into Alzheimer’s disease. The Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research at The Rockefeller University headquartered in New York City collaborates with the other leading research institutions around the world in the global pursuit for the cause, care and cure of Alzheimer’s disease.

The Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation is dedicated to attacking the scourge of Alzheimer's with a 3-pronged assault focused on the cause, care, and cure for Alzheimer's disease as well as supporting the public with educational programs.

Our goals are to:

• Understand the Cause of Alzheimer's
• To find a Cure for this devastating disease
• Improve the Care of people living with the disease to enhance their quality of life and that of their caregivers and families

• Beating Back Beta Amyloid
• Improving the Quality of Life for Alzheimer’s Patients
• Reversing Nerve Cell Damage
• Using Hormones to Slow the Progress of Disease
• Curing Early-Onset Alzheimer’s
• The Science of Caregiving

The Board of Trustees of the Fisher Center Foundation is comprised of well-known and highly respected community and business leaders, as well as world-renowned scientists dedicated to the cause of combating Alzheimer's disease. A scientific advisory board made up of eight scientists distinguished in the field of Alzheimer's disease counsels the Foundation's Board regarding research projects and expenditures.

In 1995, philanthropists Zachary Fisher and David Rockefeller joined forces to build the Fisher Center laboratory at The Rockefeller University. The two men each gave $5 million to begin construction on what would become one of the largest and best-equipped scientific facilities for Alzheimer's research in the country.

The Fisher Center laboratory is the world's leader in understanding the signaling pathways within brain cells that regulate brain functions. Our scientists have had several major findings to help those suffering from Alzheimer’s. Our ultimate goal is to find a cure.
