At the #ARUKconf, we’re keen to recognise talents in dementia research. With the De Laszlo and Laura Pulford Prizes, we identify promising researchers through oral abstracts and presentations. To be considered, submit your abstract by 21 Oct. Learn more: www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/research/for...
Applications for our Doctoral Clinical Fellowships are open! Thanks to our new partnership with the UK Dementia Trials Network, we’re excited to be introducing an optional clinical trial placement as part of this.
If you're coming to the #ARUKconf on 24-25 February, why not stay longer in Manchester for #AAICNeuro? It's a fantastic chance for ECRs to grow, connect, and network. Don’t miss it!
A key focus for the government is ‘sickness to prevention’.
Ahead of the Labour conference, AMRC has published a spotlight report showcasing how our member charities are playing a key role in this space to prevent ill health.
Congratulations to Dr Maura Malpetti (UK DRI at Cambridge), who has won the 2025 European Young Researcher Award from the Fondation Recherche Alzheimer in France. 🎉👏
The @ukdri.ac.uk & Race Against Dementia have launched a bold new fellowship scheme to support the next generation of researchers using the latest AI technology to drive pioneering research
Delighted to launch a bold new fellowship scheme in partnership with Race Against Dementia, to support innovative scientists who are using the latest AI technology to drive pioneering dementia research🎉
Congratulations to Prof Hugh Markus and his Cambridge team! Their research will use stem cell models to study cerebral small vessel disease. #ARUKfunded
Dementia is the greatest health challenge of our time. But it doesn’t have to define our future. We're excited to be working with Gates Ventures on a brand-new game-changing initiative that will drive breakthroughs for people living with dementia. Follow us to find out more.
Congratulations to PhD student @jlinnell.bsky.social and supervisor @corticalpete.bsky.social! Their project will use MRI scans to detect cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). #ARUKfunded
Congratulations to Dr Patrick Lewis and his new PhD student! Over the next 3 years they’ll take a bioinformatics approach to study gamma secretase and its interactions with APP. #ARUKfunded
Our Fellow Prof @saobettencourt.bsky.social delivered her inaugural lecture today at @uclqsion.bsky.social on epigenetics. We’ve supported her career, from PhD studentship to Senior Fellowship, and she now co-leads the DEMON Network’s Genetics & Omics group. We couldn’t be prouder! #ARUKfunded
Check out UCL’s free Lunch Hour Lecture with Prof @selinawray.bsky.social (@uclqsion.bsky.social) to learn more about the latest dementia research and promising future directions.
Huge congratulations to Prof John O’Brien and his team at the University of Cambridge! Their pilot project will investigate neutrophils as early indicators of Alzheimer’s and Lewy body dementia. #ARUKfunded
An important webinar for researchers in Huntington’s disease and neurodegeneration.
It will bring together clinical and basic science perspectives on how DNA repair could open new therapeutic avenues - with insights from leading experts in the field.
A trial is now underway to see if a blood test can diagnose Alzheimer’s earlier and more accurately, as part of our Blood Biomarker Challenge. Thank you to everyone working in the lab, clinic, and beyond helping advance progress in dementia research.
Exciting grant ahead! In a few short weeks we will be opening our Doctoral Clinical Fellowships, for clinically qualified professionals to pursue a higher research degree.
We’re excited to announce funding for Dr Lissette Sanchez Aranguren’s pilot project at Aston University! She’ll be exploring how liposomes could help Alzheimer’s drugs cross into the brain more effectively. #ARUKfunded
We’re pleased to sponsor “White Matter in Focus”, taking place on Oct 22 in Cambridge. Hear from Klaus Nave and leading researchers on myelin and oligodendrocytes in neurodegeneration.
Congratulations to Dr Laura Smith and Dr Alastair Noyce at @qmuldementia.bsky.social for receiving funding through our February Grant Review Board. The team will work to improve risk disclosure for people with iRBD, a sleep disorder linked to Parkinson’s and LBD. #ARUKfunded
👏 Congratulations to Prof Jody Mason and the University of Bath team on receiving funding through our Feb Grant Review Board for their new pilot project!
Prof Mason will develop a molecular ‘glue’ to help clear harmful protein clumps in Parkinson’s and LBD. #ARUKfunded.
