Restore memory in Alzheimer’s patients
Supporting pioneering research and innovation in Alzheimer’s disease means the University Hospital Foundation is at the forefront of advancing brain care for Albertans.
Through the generosity of our donors, Dr. Jack Jhamandas, a distinguished University of Alberta neurologist, alongside Dr. Lorne Tyrell and Nobel Laureate Sir Michael Houghton, are on the brink of a groundbreaking drug candidate with the potential not only to prevent but to reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s. This promising therapy offers new hope to those impacted by Alzheimer’s.
Use virtual reality to diagnose cardiac disease
The University Hospital Foundation helps to fund initiatives that bring cutting-edge technologies and treatments to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute (Maz).
ervier Virtual Cardiac Centre, is Canada’s first lab to use 3D imaging technology for highly detailed views of the heart, transforming how heart conditions are diagnosed and treated. This is just one example of the many ways the Foundation supports innovations at the Maz, bringing world-class cardiac care to our community and offering new hope to patients and their families.
