About us
Who we are
Brains for Dementia Research is an initiative funded jointly by the Alzheimer's Society and the Alzheimer's Research Trust to address the shortage of brain tissue from individuals that have been assessed regularly during life that is so essential for research into dementia.Our aim is to set the 'gold standard' for brain tissue banking by linking 5 leading centres (based in London, Oxford, Newcastle, Manchester and Cardiff) in a network of common standards, best practice and cooperation. This lays the foundation to enable the highest quality dementia research, with the purpose of finding treatments that will manage symptoms, halt disease progression and ultimately cure dementia.
