Since Alzheimer's disease was first diagnosed in 1901, Loughborough University was established, astronauts have travelled to the moon, research has helped double cancer survival rates, and a diagnosis of HIV is no longer a death sentence. Yet, we still don't have any treatments to slow or stop the diseases that cause dementia. At Alzheimer's Research UK, we want to see a world free from the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia and research is the answer. We are the UK's leading dementia research charity, and we are powering world-class research studies to beat dementia sooner. Backed by our passionate scientists and supporters, we're challenging the way people think about dementia, uniting the big thinkers in the field, and funding the innovative science that will deliver a cure.
