Just realised that it's my 6th Anniversary of working for @alzheimerssoc ! Leaving the lab was a real wrench, but I am so grateful for the amazing team I've been lucky to work with over the years. We've achieved so much, but there's still so much more to come💙#ResearchisHope
It's so incredible to see @AD_PREVENT going from strength to strength! So proud that @alzheimerssoc are a continuing funder of the programme and to see that there is so much more to discover when it comes to reducing dementia risk and preventing it in the future. #ResearchisHope
And that’s a wrap on @AD_PREVENT General Assembly for another year! 🇮🇪 Let’s hear from @alzheimerssoc Research Grants Manager @SianGregory7 with some final thoughts on this inspiring and informative event 💭
Wonderful to see our Postdoctoral Fellow @medounavi present exciting neuroimaging analysis from @AD_PREVENT 🧠 We loved learning more about your fascinating work 👏
Incredible opportunity to meet @AD_PREVENT and @GBHI_Fellows early career researchers at a fascinating marketplace session this morning. We’re so proud to be supporting the future of dementia research and inspired by what we’ve heard today 👏
So inspired by the @AD_PREVENT General Assembly! 10 years of incredible research that has generated richly phenotyped data. Leading the way for how we can spot the earliest signs of dementia and reduce risk. 🩵 #ResearchIsHope
We’ve arrived @AD_PREVENT General Assembly in Dublin 🇮🇪 Looking forward to celebrating the successes so far and hearing more about plans for the future!
Thinking of returning to dementia research after a break? Alzheimer’s Society and the Daphne Jackson Trust have partnered together to offer a flexible fellowship to help support your career comeback. Apply by Nov 25th. @AlzSocResearch @DaphneJacksonTr alzheimers.org.uk/research/resea…
Really enjoy conferences like #CTAD24 – they’re a fantastic opportunity to catch up with our funded researchers and hear their key takeaways. Keep an eye on @AlzSocResearch for more updates and familiar faces 😊
Great to bump into @craig_ritchie68 at #CTAD24. Professor Craig Ritchie leads the PREVENT study, part-funded by Alzheimer’s Society, which aims to identify mid-life risk factors for dementia - important research with real potential to inform future prevention strategies!
Some +ve stuff, including more £££ and productivity focus for NHS and support for social care. Diagnostics investment also important. @alzheimerssoc will be scrutinising the small print to see what’s what for people with dementia and working with Gov and NHS on the 10 yr plan
It’s #Budget2024 day – and we've asked the Government for: Long-term investment in dementia diagnosis & treatment Dementia training for the social care workforce Better data on dementia Dementia costs £42 billion per year - it's time to make it a priority.
Such a fascinating talk that really sparked excitement on targeting different mechanistic pathways for Alzheimer’s Disease treatment. Especially intrigued by the potential of combination therapies! Looking forward to the panel after lunch diving deeper into these insights 💡
Professor Cath Mummery delivered an inspiring look at the next generation of clinical trials for Alzheimer’s Disease! Building on recent progress, there’s a renewed emphasis on exploring multiple pathways, increasing diversity of trial participants, and putting patients at the…

Cutting human brain into 70nm thin sections, over 1000x thinner than a human hair. This allows us to view the brain in exquisit detail and see how it changes in conditions such as ALS and dementia. @UoDMedicine @alzheimerssoc @mndassoc @MNDScotland @ARUKscientist @dundeeuni
Your @AlzSocResearch team at #CTAD24! We’ve got representatives from our grants, communications, and research nurses teams, all focused on advancing dementia research in the UK. Finally got a photo with the beautiful flower sign - if you see us, come say hello 👋
The devastation caused by dementia is truly shocking, but the numbers don't lie. We need dementia to be a priority, now more than ever before. And with it more life changing investment into dementia research. #ResearchIsHope
How much do you really know about dementia? It’s the UK’s biggest killer - but our research tells us that people don’t actually know that much about it. We headed to the streets to test that theory and bring some conversations about dementia out from behind closed doors.
