Neurodegenerative Diseases
Together, we can renew hope for Alzheimer’s
Worldwide, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer's and other dementias—impacting everyday life for millions. For neurodegenerative diseases, there is a demand to discover new ways to prevent and regain lost cognitive functions. At the Burke Neurological Institute, we work across neurological conditions and functions—Motor, Pain & Sensory, Cognitive, and Vision—to address symptoms as well as the cause.
A breakthrough for one person to restore ability could be a breakthrough for millions, no matter how or why it originated.
“BNI is a nurturing home that permits us to maximize our imaginations and abilities to meet our goal of helping those living with neurological conditions. This fostering environment promotes ‘The science hope demands’ by enabling us to move our preclinical research on cells and molecules to our clinical trials.” — Dr. Gary E. Gibson
You have an important role to play in Alzheimer’s research
Participating in Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative diseases research takes courage and bravery. That is why our participants are at the center of discovery. We treat symptoms in carefully monitored clinical trials that apply the latest neuroscience, drug therapies and technological devices. We go beyond current medicine to test-drive innovations for neurological repair and neuro-restoration.
