Building the future of Alzheimer’s research and innovation at UBC

Catalyzed by a transformational donation, the Dementia Therapeutics Innovation Initiative is advancing target discovery for dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.


Despite increased research on Alzheimer’s disease and over 200 clinical trials for promising candidate drugs, very few therapeutics have emerged.

Our vision is to achieve a disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that is discovered, developed, and tested right here at UBC.
