About Alzheimer’s Research UK
Dementia robs us of everything that matters. Our memories. Our connections. Our story. Unless we act, one in three people born today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
Alzheimer’s Research UK is the charity leading the search for a cure for dementia. And we won’t stop until everyone is free from this heartbreaking condition.
Dementia is caused by physical diseases, and we know diseases can be cured. Our scientists work hard every day to discover treatments, speed up diagnosis and learn how to prevent people from developing dementia.
We are the largest charity funder of dementia research in the UK, with projects looking into all forms of dementia. Our UK-wide Research Network brings together nearly 3,000 dementia researchers to share ideas, collaborate and progress our search for a cure.
Over the past century, research has powered incredible advances in the treatment of other diseases. We have mapped the human genome, designed drugs to successfully control HIV, carried out the first human heart transplant and doubled cancer survival rates. Research has made the seemingly impossible, possible. With your support, we can and will make the same progress for people with dementia.
