The UK Dementia Research Institute

The UK DRI is breaking new ground by drawing world-leaders in dementia research into a single national institute that will be defined by close collaboration and access to exceptional research resources. Collectively they bring a range of technological and intellectual approaches to the problem. And by studying all of the dementias, UK DRI researchers will both identify commonalities across different neurodegenerative disorders, and distinguish unique features of specific forms of dementia. This early-stage investigation of how dementia develops and progresses, combined with our firm commitment to translation, will bring therapies to patients faster. It will be catalytic for discovering new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent dementias, and to find better ways to care for patients.

Research at the institute is relevant to all types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, Huntington’s disease and beyond.
