As an academic institution and an NIH-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Center, the UCSF Memory and Aging Center is committed to sharing tools for research with other scientists of the highest caliber.
- The Neurodegenerative Disease Brain Bank (NDBB) serves as a repository for nervous system tissue donated for research purposes.
- The Dementia Care Pathway is a suite of tools and educational materials specifically designed to improve the ability of non-specialists to more effectively diagnose and treat dementia in their patients.
