We’re working to create a strong environment for dementia research to support the development and delivery of new treatments.
By securing increased access to funding, enabling international research collaboration, and influencing policymakers, we are strengthening the environment for dementia research so that we can treat and prevent dementia sooner.
People affected by dementia are at the heart of everything we do. Working with people with lived experience of the condition strengthens our voice and helps us focus on the issues that are most important.
Dementia Medicines Taskforce
We’re calling for a taskforce to speed up the development and roll-out of life-changing dementia treatments.
Transforming clinical trials
Our Translating Science into Breakthroughs report argues for urgent reform to prevent people with dementia missing out on new treatments
Investing in research
We’re making the case for increased dementia research funding, and holding the government to account on its pledge to double annual investment.
Getting people involved in dementia research
Research is vital to improving our understanding of dementia, so we can develop interventions and treatments. But finding people to join clinical trials and other research projects can be difficult.
Women and Dementia
We want to ensure dementia research reflects the diversity of the population with dementia and the needs of those who are most affected.
Research Strategy
Treatment, diagnosis, and prevention are the three priority areas we are focusing to make a difference to the lives of people affected by dementia.
Research Conference
Join us for the Alzheimer’s Research UK Conference in 2023 to hear the latest findings in dementia research.
