The Alzheimer’s Association is committed to accelerating the global effort to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease. We are the largest, private nonprofit funder of Alzheimer’s research. We believe in the value of collaboration and are willing to imagine a time when we will have disease-modifying treatments, preventive strategies and gold-standard care for all people affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
The Greater Illinois Chapter is fortunate to have a number of the nation’s foremost Alzheimer’s research facilities within its territory. We have worked collaboratively with this talented and dedicated research community in order to plan and educate participants of the Symposium about the latest advances in Alzheimer research.
