More than 800,000 people in the UK have dementia and one in three of us has a friend or close family member who is affected. Yet, dementia receives only about 1/12th of the research funding devoted to cancer. Our target is to raise £350,000 to enable us to use our Nobel Prize winning expertise in MRI scanning to conduct world-leading research into the different ways that dementia damages brain cells. Your support for Life Cycle 5 will pave the way to earlier diagnosis and better treatment.
