Mount Sinai's clinical research programs are available to those with Alzheimer's disease as well as healthy seniors. Both our clinical and lab research are supported by the National Institute on Aging and aim to improve diagnosis, delay disease progression, and enhance well-being of those affected by Alzheimer's disease, as well as to study the normal aging process.
