What is the Byrd Alzheimers Institutes primary goal?
The mission of the Byrd Alzheimer’s Research Center is to prevent and cure Alzheimer’s Disease. The prevention and cure of Alzheimer’s disease will only be found through research in the laboratory and in the clinic. Such research will first identify the genetic and biochemical steps that lead to this devastating disease and will then provide us with the tools for early diagnosis, prevention, and, One Day a Cure®. The Johnnie B. Byrd, Sr. Alzheimer’s Center & Research Institute is dedicated to helping and coordinating the tremendous research expertise, experience, and creative vision of laboratories all over Florida, and to extending this critical work by building national and international collaborations. The goal of such collaborations is to more quickly translate research results into clinical applications that delay the disease onset and slow and, ideally, halt the disease progression. The patients and caregivers of Florida are also essential collaborators in this research program b
