The Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) at Columbia University, established in the late 1980s by Drs. Richard Mayeux and Michael Shelanski, focuses on advancing research in Alzheimer's disease and related neurological disorders through a combination of epidemiological and cell biological approaches. In 1995, the Taub Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research was founded with a significant gift from the Taub Family Foundation, enabling the expansion of research facilities and support for emerging investigators in the field. Now known as the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the Aging Brain, the center operates as an independent department, collaborating with various departments and centers across Columbia University to promote comprehensive studies on Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders. Current research initiatives encompass a wide range of topics, including cell biology, genetics, cognitive neuroscience, and geriatric psychiatry, all aimed at enhancing understanding and treatment of these complex diseases.
