Support our research
At the LIRM, we develop groundbreaking solutions to combat age-related diseases, with a focus on brain disorders.
Every 3 seconds, someone in the world is diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease. In Switzerland alone, over 150,000 people are affected by conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. With an ageing population, this number is expected to double in the next 20 years.
At the LIRM, we turn science into hope. But without your support, we can’t continue.
Research doesn’t run on goodwill alone, it needs funding, and today, every donation matters more than ever. When support stops, so does the work. That means fewer answers for patients waiting for a diagnosis and less progress for families watching a loved one decline.
My project is special because ...
We work in translational research, meaning we don’t stop at scientific discovery. We take science all the way to the patient. Our goal is to help everyone age with a healthy mind and body. But this is only possible if we can keep going. And today, we need your help to make it happen.
This is what we need backing for.
Your donation contributes to:
• Research on brain and ageing, to identify early warning signs of age-related diseases and understand how inflammation drives neurodegeneration.
• Partnerships with leading academic institutions to bring innovative therapies to patients faster, starting tomorrow.
• Training the next generation of scientists pushing the boundaries of our knowledge about the brain and ageing.
• Prevention campaigns that reach communities before disease does.
