Dementia research
A cautious return – UK DRI at Cardiff University
We caught up with Dr Meghan Larin, a postdoctoral researcher, and Emma Randall, a research assistant, in Prof Vincent Dion’s lab at the UK DRI at Cardiff University.
Celebrating the successes of our dementia researchers
Times are challenging for everyone at the moment and our dementia researchers are no exception, so now more than ever it’s important to celebrate our scientists’ successes.
Hidden beauty, fascinating insights
Microscopic images reveal the hidden beauty around and within us. Dementia researchers get a unique view of the intricate but stunning workings of the brain. To showcase the fascinating insights being gained in dementia research, we ran our Science Image Competition again this year.
Another year of progress for dementia research
Research is making progress, and the last 12 months have seen a number of important new developments in the global effort to overcome dementia.
Could the answers to dementia be hiding in your fruit bowl?
Unbeknown to most, the common fruit fly is an invaluable research tool; many scientific discoveries would have been impossible without it!
Thanks for sharing
Taking the time to watch the video will help many people to better understand the nature of diseases like Alzheimer’s, but by sharing it, the impact grows, and more and more people will get this important message.
It’s time to change the conversation
To accelerate progress towards life-changing treatments, we must also change the conversation about dementia.
What would you want from a dementia treatment?
With our survey, developed with academics from the University of Edinburgh, we aim to gather opinions from as many people as possible. This will help us to pick out trends in opinion, and learn whether different groups of people tend to value different things.
Would you spend your 70th birthday in a brain scanner?
Our Insight 46 study is a unique opportunity to study how factors throughout our life could influence our brain health aged 70.
