About the Centers

NYU Langone Medical Center has launched six new Centers of Excellence that bring together some of our most distinguished scientists—researchers and clinicians—who share a deep passion and a common cause: to improve and extend the lives of patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias; addiction; multiple sclerosis; skin cancer; urological diseases; and musculoskeletal diseases.

For example, researchers in the Center of Excellence on Brain Aging and Dementia study the fundamental processes of Alzheimer’s disease in animal models and humans, develop new diagnostic tools and therapies, and explore new psychosocial interventions for patients and caregivers.

Research conducted in the centers is informed by first-hand experiences with patients and, in turn, the results of our research provide new opportunities and hope to patients and their families. In these new Centers of Excellence, our three missions converge, bringing together world-class research, advanced diagnostics and treatments for patients, and a rich environment for educating the next generation of researchers and physicians.
