About This Data Partner
The Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center (BBRC) is a research center dedicated to the prevention of Alzheimer's disease and the study of cognitive functions affected in healthy and pathological aging. It was created in 2012 by the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, with the support of the Pompeu Fabra University. The mission of the BBRC is to provide innovative solutions to decipher and prevent biological changes and cognitive dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative diseases. The BBRC's Alzheimer's Prevention Program is fully dedicated to research on Alzheimer's prevention and healthy ageing from a clinical, cognitive, genetic, and biomarker, including wet and neuroimaging, perspective. The program is led by Dr José Luis Molinuevo and is structured in two highly collaborative research groups: the Clinical, Biomarker and Risk Factors Research Group and the Neuroimaging Research Group.
