ISTAART Is 10,000 Members Strong

We’re proud to share that the International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART) is now 10,000 members strong — and we’re just getting started. With more scientists, clinicians and dementia professionals than ever before, we’re poised to make significant advancements in dementia science through the exchange of ideas, collaboration and networking.

As ISTAART celebrates its 15th anniversary, it’s fitting to remember that we began as a small but dedicated group of dementia professionals. Since then, we have grown to represent diverse areas of practice and members from more than 110 countries. ISTAART’s tremendous growth wouldn’t be possible without more accessible membership options, allowing students and individuals in lower and middle income countries to join at no cost.

It’s clear that diversity is ISTAART’s greatest strength as our membership has grown. A variety of dementia professionals from all career stages and backgrounds actively engage in our Professional Interest Areas (PIAs), executive committees, Advisory Council and Ambassador Program, bringing unique perspectives and knowledge to the table. With 29 unique PIAs, our members have opportunities to learn and collaborate on topics such as biomarkers, technology and more with peers from around the world.

Thank you for being a part of this inclusive global network of scientists, clinicians and other dementia professionals — together, we are making momentous strides to accelerate research and advance careers.
