About the Cleveland Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (CADRC)

The Cleveland Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (CADRC) is a nationally funded partnership uniting the expertise of Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, The MetroHealth System, and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center.

Together, we work to advance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias through innovative research, clinical care, and community engagement.

Strengthening Alzheimer’s Science Through Regional Partnership

As one of the federally designated Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers (ADRCs), the CADRC brings together scientists, clinicians, educators, and community leaders from across Northeast Ohio.

Our collaborative model allows us to combine world-class expertise and local insights to better serve individuals and families impacted by memory and thinking changes.
