Department Description

The Memory and Aging Center (MAC) is engaged in a wide range of clinical and basic research programs and provides clinical services for patients with brain health concerns. The UCSF Memory and Aging Center is an NIA-designated Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) working to translate research science into improved diagnosis, therapeutics, and care for people with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease and related diseases, as well as to find novel treatments or prevention. The MAC specializes in Mild Cognitive Impairments, Alzheimer's Disease, Frontotemporal dementia, and other neurodegenerative diseases. The Memory and Aging Center has over 300 employees and over 50 faculty. In addition to research and clinical UC Health outpatient services, the MAC offers several training programs including the Global Brain Health Institute with 15 GBHI fellows a year from around the world, as well as a certified Behavioral Neurology Training Program with up to 8 fellows annually. Many learners combine creative work and evidence-based research to improve our understanding of the experience of people with dementia and their caregivers, as well as provide opportunities to amplify narratives, change perceptions and stigma, communicate scientific findings, and generate possibilities for community engagement and systemic transformation. Arts and creativity are key to enhancing brain health as we age, and artists help us to see the world in new ways and to communicate that vision. The MAC's arts initiatives are growing with public health and community partnerships through the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI), Community Outreach Program (COP), and investigator grants.

The MAC has multiple funding sources, the majority are National Institute of Health federal grants. In addition, the investigators are recipients of state grants, clinical trials, private grants, clinical service revenues, and philanthropy. The annual budget is approximately $97M.
