UCL
Research at the UK DRI at UCL covers the journey from the person living with dementia to the laboratory and back again - with improved diagnosis and potential therapies put to the test.
ExploreOur hub plus six centres are hosted in leading universities across the UK, bringing people together for shared scientific inspiration whilst making the most of cutting-edge tools and infrastructure locally.
Our researchers are connected, wherever their labs are based. Ideas, tools, technologies and data flow between UK DRI teams.
Research at the UK DRI at UCL covers the journey from the person living with dementia to the laboratory and back again - with improved diagnosis and potential therapies put to the test.
ExploreFrom biological to physical sciences: working across disciplines to boost our understanding of the processes underlying the earliest stages of neurodegeneration and ageing.
ExploreFrom gene to function: hunting for new treatment targets across Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease.
ExploreFrom brain vasculature to microglia: elucidating the interactions within the brain and with the body which control the trajectory of neurodegenerative disorders.
ExploreFrom sleep to the microbiome: bringing new approaches and research tools to the study of dementia to discover new disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.
ExploreFrom FTD to ALS: understanding disease mechanisms to design smarter diagnostics and effective treatments.
ExploreFrom sensors to artificial intelligence: creating dementia-friendly ‘Healthy Homes’ as intelligent environments that transform and personalise care.
ExploreCollaboration is at the heart of our institute. We work closely with a key group of UK DRI Associates and Affiliates who are based both within our centres and beyond.
ExploreThe Core team supports and connects all centres that make up the UK DRI, with resource in finance, science strategy, communications, HR and tech transfer.
