We are supporting a range of international opportunities for researchers looking to validate and progress targets for neurodegenerative diseases.

Alzheimer’s Research UK is committed to creating a supportive environment that encourages and helps the translation of the most promising discoveries towards new treatments for people with dementia. Since 2016, we have funded over £46m in initiatives relevant to translational science, as well as specific vehicles to enable translational projects.

Collaborate with us

From target validation to in vivo proof of concept, we have a range of opportunities to help develop your most promising ideas into treatments for people affected by dementia.

We encourage dialogue about potential collaborations at any stage. Contact us at research@alzheimersresearchuk.org
