Is there a way to get involved in research efforts related to Alzheimer’s Disease?
Yes. Both affected and unaffected individuals can participate in clinical trials. In addition, people can donate brain tissue of a family member after their death. For scientists to continue to study the causes of AD and to potentially find a cure, samples are needed of brain tissue from people who had AD as well as from elderly people who did not. You can find more information on clinical trials involving AD at the ClinicalTrials.gov website.
