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 wants to identify and develop new solutions to help everyone affected by dementia to live well.

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.
