Launched in 2017, the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the single biggest investment the UK has ever made in dementia thanks to founding funders the Medical Research Council (MRC), Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK... Around 944,000 people in the UK have dementia and the number of people affected will continue to grow as the population ages. There are currently no effective therapeutics for any of the neurodegenerative conditions that give rise to dementia. The UK DRI is leading the UK's dementia research efforts and tackling the huge challenge of the condition, which is now the leading cause of death in England and Wales... Coordinated by the UK DRI Innovation and Business team at a national level, we build productive partnerships with industry to help validate targets and devise proof-of-principle preclinical studies.
