Dementia Research Centre
Queen Square, London
The Dementia Research Centre, based at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, is one of the UK's leading centres for clinical research into dementia, and the hospital is the lead centre for trialling new drugs to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease (which causes the majority of dementia). The Dementia Research Centre is part of the Department of Neurodegenerative Disease at the UCL Institute of Neurology
Over 4,000 patients, with their carers, have already participated in studies and the Dementia Research Centre has made some breakthrough progress - including:
- Collaborative work which led to identifying the first Alzheimer's disease gene;
- Identifying pre-symptomatic cognitive and imaging changes in Alzheimer's
- Pioneering MRI imaging techniques to improve diagnosis and track progression of Alzheimer's disease.
