About

The Institute for Behavioral Genetics (IBG) supports groundbreaking research on genetic and lifestyle factors that contribute to age-related dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of age-related dementia, affecting millions of families worldwide. At IBG, we are at the forefront of research aimed at unraveling how genes and experiences from early life through mid-life influence the brain and cognitive changes that lead to Alzheimer’s in old age. Our team of world-class researchers is dedicated to mapping out the genetic pathways of Alzheimer’s, uncovering the mechanisms that drive its progression, and identifying opportunities for intervention. By supporting IBG, you are helping to create a future where Alzheimer’s is no longer inevitable—a future where generations can enjoy healthier, longer lives.
