TARCC Research Publications

Supported by the contributions of more than two dozen researchers at six leading Texas medical research institutions, the Texas Alzheimer's Research and Care Consortium (TARCC) conducts advanced research on the genetic, biomarker and neuropsychological aspects of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in an attempt to achieve breakthroughs in detection, treatment, slowing progression and prevention of AD.
