DISCOVERY

The ADDF focuses on translating the knowledge we have gained about the causes of Alzheimer's disease - known as the "biology of aging" - into drugs to conquer it. We support diverse projects focused on novel targets that hold great promise, but also risk. And most are not far enough along in the drug development pipeline to attract financial support from the pharmaceutical industry, federal funders, or other major partners. By assuming the risk and bridging this critical gap in funding, the ADDF enables leading scientists to pursue pioneering ideas to cure Alzheimer's disease that would otherwise go unexplored... The mission of the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation is to rapidly accelerate the development of drugs to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer's disease... The ADDF's mission is to accelerate the discovery of drugs to prevent, treat, and cure Alzheimer's, other dementias, and cognitive aging by funding breakthrough research in academia and the biotech industry.
