What research is Alzheimer's Society funding?

Our research aims to understand the underlying causes of the condition, improve diagnosis and care, identifying ways to prevent dementia and searching for a cure. 

Our Drug Discovery programme is an exciting approach to developing treatments for dementia by 'repurposing' existing drugs.

Our Innovation team co-creates and accelerates innovative solutions to tackle challenges that transform the day-to-day lives of people affected by dementia.

The Centres of Excellence are a groundbreaking initiative developed by Alzheimer’s Society to address areas in dementia care that are in urgent need of more research.

As a founding charity partner for the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI), Alzheimer’s Society has pledged £50 million towards the single biggest investment in dementia research the UK has ever seen.

Brains for Dementia Research (BDR) is a unique initiative that aims to provide researchers with high-quality brain tissue to support their vital work.
