Founded in 2004 by two French doctors, Professor Bruno Dubois, a neurologist specializing in Alzheimer’s disease, and Dr. Olivier de Ladoucette, a psychiatrist and geriatrician, the Alzheimer Research Foundation is a public interest foundation based at the Pitie Salpetriere Hospital in Paris. Its mission is to support research into Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, and to advance knowledge on the subject.
Since its creation, the Foundation has provided more than EUR 29 million in funding to over 195 researchers in France and across Europe, with the main objectives of developing early diagnosis and effective treatments. As the leading funder of Alzheimer’s research in France, it received the IDEAS label in 2024. The Foundation also organizes the Alzheimer Talks, public conferences that share the latest therapeutic data and future perspectives on Alzheimer’s disease.
