The Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center (RADC) at Rush University Medical Center is a National Institute on Aging (NIA)-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center dedicated to advancing research on Alzheimer’s disease, related dementias, and aging. For more than three decades, the RADC has established and maintained deeply phenotyped, longitudinal cohort studies that integrate clinical, cognitive, neuropathologic, genetic, genomic, and other multi-omics data to investigate the biological mechanisms, risk factors, progression, and resilience associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease.

The RADC supports open scientific collaboration by generating and sharing high-quality research data and biospecimens from its epidemiologic cohort studies, including the Religious Orders Study (ROS), the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP), and other ongoing community-based cohorts. Data contributed through this study provide a resource for investigators seeking to understand the genetic and molecular basis of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
