History
In 2003, the creation of the Roskamp Institute started some of the world's most cutting-edge research on neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Since opening its doors, the Roskamp Institute has been a leader in the global effort to better understand and ultimately cure debilitating diseases of the mind.
Specialties
The Roskamp Institute, located in Sarasota, Florida, is devoted to understanding causes and finding cures for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and addictions. The main goal of the Roskamp Institute has been to discover new and effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. Previous work by the Institute's lead researchers (Dr. Michael Mullan and Dr. Fiona Crawford) has shown that certain genetic variations may cause or predispose humans to Alzheimer's disease. These genetic variations have given scientists clues about the Alzheimer's disease process.
