Alzheimer’s disease affects over five million Americans. A degenerative disease that slowly destroys brain cells, Alzheimer’s leads to a decline in memory and thinking skills. Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI) has been studying the way people’s brains age and the causes of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias for two decades. HMRI scientists have published more than 40 research papers related to brain aging.

Today our neuroscientists are working to identify new tests to make early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s possible, allowing for more effective treatment. These tests aim to detect changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s and related diseases before the onset of cognitive symptoms, predicting individuals who do not yet show symptoms of the disease, the risk of future memory and functional decline.

You can potentially volunteer if you are at least 60 years old, live in Pasadena or the surrounding areas, are cognitively healthy.

You’ll make three to five visits, each about one to four hours long, over the course of three months—all at our facility in Pasadena, California. These visits will be repeated every two years. You’ll be compensated for your time.
