A Defining Moment of Impact
A visionary investment in collaborative Alzheimer’s disease research — accelerating discovery, advancing therapeutics, and moving us closer to a cure.
Most people will have someone in their families develop dementia or Alzheimer's, yet there are no viable treatments beyond temporary measures, as of now. With the extraordinary talent at UC San Diego and USC, we established a collaboration where researchers are interacting and sharing ideas. It can lead to new solutions that they might not have originally thought about.
Two Institutions. One Shared Goal.
Made in 2021, this joint gift to University of California San Diego and the University of Southern California, totaling $50 million from the Epstein Family Foundation, drives Alzheimer’s research for better treatments and a cure.
The generous donation established the Epstein Family Alzheimer’s Research Collaboration. The gift was split evenly, with $25 million going to each institution. The funding supports existing research at each university and will spark new collaborative efforts to discover effective therapies for Alzheimer’s disease.
Accelerating Discovery Together.
