The MIND Center at UMMC

The MIND Center at UMMC A biomedical research center investigating Alzheimer's disease at the University of Mississippi Medic

The MIND Center is a group of investigators from different disciplines working together to illuminate the causes of Alzheimer's and related neurodegenerative dementias through cutting-edge research. In 2010 the MIND Center was tapped to head a new $26 million study comprised of some of the world's leading medical research institutions to look at mid-life risk factors for dementia. The new study, called the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study, will examine more than 20 years of test results taken at regular intervals on 16,000 study participants and include a new round of testing. With that unique window into the past, research hope to further understand the early factors that lead to Alzheimer's. The MIND Center brings together some of the largest neuro-epidemiological studies ever conducted, state-of-the-art brain imaging and powerful new genetic technologies to accelerate the pace of discovery.
