Dementia devastates almost a million lives in the UK, and right now, there are no NHS treatments to stop it. But we're changing that. Our new film highlights how we must come together to power the research #ForACure. A huge thank you to actor Stephen Graham for lending his

UCLH has recruited the first participant to a global study of a new drug in early development, called NI0752, which is thought to reduce the production of a protein in the brain called tau.

Out today in @TheLancetNeuro — we review excess brain volume loss following amyloid immunotherapy and conclude that it is *not* related to neuronal loss. Download here: https://t.co/di2Dqh3ToM

Our researchers share why finding a cure is personal & meaningful in their work. Almost everyone knows someone affected by dementia, with 1 in 2 of us devastated by it. Our researchers are amongst those who have been impacted & are trying to change the ending for millions.

Men in STEM please stop doing things like this!!!!
After giving a talk at a conference recently, I received an email from an unfamiliar senior professor in the audience remarking that my “look has extremely improved over the years” from “nerdy lab mouse” to “a touch of upper class.” 1/4
