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. UoD Medicine Alzheimer's Society MND Association MND Scotland Research at ARUK University of Dundee

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

Your Alzheimer's Society For Researchers 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 👋

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 💡

Some +ve stuff, including more £££ and productivity focus for NHS and support for social care. Diagnostics investment also important. Alzheimer's Society 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

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 Alzheimer's Society For Researchers for more updates and familiar faces 😊
