We were thrilled to bring together our friends and supporters in Stockholm, Sweden for a special three-day celebration honoring the 10th anniversary of the Melvin R. Goodes Prize. This prize, which each year honors an innovative researcher who has made a significant impact on the Alzheimer's field, exemplifies the global collaboration and leadership of the ADDF.

It was a privilege to convene key scientific, government, and industry leaders from around the world to mark the incredible contributions our Goodes Prize winners have made over the past decade, shaping and leading the science along with the ADDF. Our ultimate goal is a combination therapy and precision medicine approach to treating Alzheimer’s that allows us to use biomarkers to pinpoint the unique causes of each patient’s disease and combine multiple drugs to target these pathologies. And thanks to the cutting-edge research of our prize recipients and the dedication of the Goodes family, who founded this award, we are well on our way.
