The Alzheimer’s Center at Temple (ACT) is dedicated to unlocking the complexities of Alzheimer’s disease, brain aging and related neurodegenerative processes, such as traumatic brain injury. Through groundbreaking research, clinical innovation, and education, we work to better understand the disease, improve diagnosis, and develop effective treatments. 

At ACT, we believe medicine is not just about treating diseases—it’s about shaping the future of healthcare through relentless humanity. Our team includes leading neuroscientists, clinicians, and researchers who specialize in neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, and translational medicine. We integrate fundamental research with real-world applications to bring promising therapies and biomarkers from the lab to patients. Our center is supported by major NIH, DoD, and foundation grants and philanthropic partnerships, including the Scott Richards North Star Charitable Foundation. Our work integrates fundamental science with clinical application to make tangible impacts on patient care. We train the next generation of Alzheimer’s researchers while fostering partnerships with the broader scientific community.
