Join the fight against degenerative brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), non-AD dementias, including Frontotemporal Dementia and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and others.

The UCSF Memory and Aging Center is at the forefront of discovering causes, treatments and cures of dementia.

The Defeat Dementia campaign seeks to help educate the public by generating broader national awareness of dementias.

Our hope is that increased public awareness will lead to early detection among patients, caregivers and health professionals and more participation in research and clinical trials.
