Aims and Objectives of the Centre

The aim of the Centre of Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease Research & Care is:

To contribute to the community by developing effective strategies for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease;
To develop tests for the early diagnosis of the disease;
To develop effective treatments that delay the onset of the disease and reduce its progression;
To make a substantial difference in the care, well-being and quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s disease.

The Centre intends to achieve this objective through:

Foundational research – aimed at achieving a molecular/cellular-level understanding of AD that underpins the more applied ‘translational’ research in the Centre, while having the potential for the discovery of therapeutic drugs.
Translational research – aimed at clinical outcomes – building on the outputs of foundational research and producing outputs that, when translated to practice, will improve population health and health policy
Enabling (applied) research – aimed at facilitating translation of research into practice.
