The NYU Alzheimer's Disease Center (ADC) is part of the Department of Psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine, located in midtown Manhattan, in New York City, New York. The ADC is one of thirty Alzheimer's disease research centers in the United States supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). As an NIA-supported research facility, the center's goals are to advance current knowledge and understanding of brain aging and Alzheimer's disease, to expand the numbers of scientists working in the field of aging and Alzheimer's research, to work toward better treatment options and care for those living with memory impairment, and most importantly, to apply its findings to the care of patients and their families, and share these findings with healthcare providers, researchers, and the general public.

The ADC's programs and services are directed toward providing its patients and their families with the highest quality diagnostic evaluations, the latest treatment options available, psychosocial support and education that reflect the most up-to-date information about Alzheimer's disease and memory impairment. The ADC's programs and services extend to other research facilities and to healthcare professionals through shared knowledge and collaboration, and to the general public through seminars, presentations at community centers, the ADC's newsletter and this web site.
