About the Fisher Center Foundation
There is hope. New effective treatments are just around the corner, and we are the world's largest research team leading the battle against Alzheimer's disease. The Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Foundation funds over 85 scientists across the United States, with partnerships and collaborations in 17 other countries, all under the direction of Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard at The Rockefeller University in New York City. The 10,000 square foot laboratory is one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the country outfitted with the latest equipment necessary to undertake an assault against Alzheimer's disease.
Of every dollar raised, 94 cents goes directly to research programs.
