IN OUR LABS

Discoveries Are Made Everyday

Since opening its doors in 2003, The Roskamp Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been a leader in the global effort to better understand and treat diseases of the mind.

The foundation for the Institute’s work was set by the Institute's leadership, Drs. Michael Mullan and Fiona Crawford. They were key members of a pioneering team of scientists who, in the early 1990s, discovered the first known mutations causing early onset Alzheimer’s Disease in the amyloid gene.

A Message From Our CEO

Our Mission & Approach

To advance groundbreaking scientific discovery that leads to safe, effective therapies for diseases of the mind and to redefine what healthy aging can mean for generations to come.

At The Roskamp Institute, we believe that trust is earned through rigor, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to the scientific method. Our mission is rooted in a simple but urgent truth: neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases demand bold thinking, uncompromising science, and a collaborative approach that bridges discovery and real-world impact.

We are dedicated to uncovering the biological mechanisms underlying disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, Gulf War illness, and other complex neurological conditions. Through innovative translational research, we move discoveries from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside, accelerating the path from insight to intervention.

Publications

Our scientists contribute extensively to the global body of knowledge through peer-reviewed publications in respected scientific and medical journals.

Key Programs
