Memory and Cognitive Disorders
The UNC Memory Disorders program is dedicated to expanding access to and providing quality care for individuals with memory disorders, and conducting research that will foster more robust diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the future. The program, directed by Daniel Kaufer, MD, encompasses three interdisciplinary foci: 1) Clinical evaluation and comprehensive management of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including Mild Cognitive Impairment, Lewy body dementia, and Frontotemporal Dementia/Progressive Aphasia, 2) A research arm including investigator-initiated collaborative research projects in functional and structural brain imaging, biomedical informatics, and experimental therapeutic clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, among others, and 3) Community educational outreach and physician training programs as part of the Carolina Alzheimer's Network and in conjunction with Alzheimer's North Carolina.
