Labs

Our research teams

The labs at the UK DRI are where discovery happens. Led by our Group Leaders and Emerging Leaders, they are dynamic hubs of innovation, bringing together researchers at all career stages to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of dementia. Each lab contributes unique expertise and approaches to our collective mission, creating a vibrant ecosystem of scientific inquiry that spans molecular biology, genetics, immune biology, and beyond.
