UK Dementia Research Institute

The national UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the single biggest investment in dementia research in the UK. Established in 2017 by the Medical Research Council, Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK, the £290million institute is located across six leading UK universities: University of Cambridge, Cardiff University, University of Edinburgh, Imperial College London and King's College London, with its central hub at UCL. The UK DRI accelerates discoveries to prevent, treat and care for people with all types of dementia, and it will help us understand ways to keep the brain healthy. The UK DRI attracts the brightest minds in research, both in the UK and globally, and will ultimately be made up of 700 researchers, continuing to make the UK one of the best places in the world to study neuroscience.
