Brains for dementia research

Brains for Dementia Research, the first major venture jointly funded by the Alzheimer's Research Trust and the Alzheimer's Society, demonstrates the importance charities, doctors and scientists place on the project in driving the search for effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease and allied dementias.

Brains for Dementia Research is enabling four leading brain tissue banks (based at the Institute of Psychiatry, Oxford University, Newcastle University, Manchester University) and one tissue donation centre (Cardiff University) to recruit and clinically assess potential donors, collect and provide donated brain tissue for quality research into causes and treatments for dementia.
