By 2050, it is expected that a new case of Alzheimer’s will occur every 33 seconds. This grim prognosis drives Rutgers scientists and clinicians to find ways to prevent and stop the progression of this devastating disease.

Standing among the nation's leading research universities, Rutgers is acclaimed for the excellent achievements of our people and for their contributions to society in the pursuit of education, research, and health care.
