The Biodesign institute is home to the ASU-Banner Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center (NDRC). This is a collaboration between ASU and Banner Health that was officially entered into in July 2015. The goal of NDRC is to develop a world-class research center that houses basic and translational researchers to address challenges in the etiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. We share a strong desire to collaborate in an effort to advance the scientific and clinical fight against Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases and to make meaningful contributions to the understanding and promotion of healthy aging, as well as establish an organization that unites clinical and basic research in an effort to bridge the gap between discovery and delivery of health care of affected populations. ASU serves as the basic research arm and Banner Health serves as the clinical research arm of the partnership.

Application Process

This institution is using Interfolio’s Faculty Search to conduct this search. Applicants to this position receive a free Dossier account and can send all application materials, including confidential letters of recommendation, free of charge.
