The MIT School of Science carries out research at the frontier of science. We discover answers to deep basic questions, as well as solutions to critical real-world problems. Providing our brilliant and creative scientists with the resources they need is expensive. We invite you to contribute to this effort with your financial support.

How you can help

Aging Brain Initiative Fund

The Aging Brain Initiative is an Institute-wide interdisciplinary research effort to solve the mysteries of the aging brain — memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia. The initiative spans neuroscience, fundamental biology and genetics, investigative medicine, economics, chemistry, urban planning, and artificial intelligence. MIT sits uniquely positioned to develop treatments and technologies for Alzheimer’s dementia due to our world-leading faculty expertise in science, engineering, drug development and innovation, and because we are situated at the epicenter of the largest concentration of biotechnology companies and research centers in the world. You can help get us closer to real, effective treatments.
