Annual report
How DPUK is adapting to rapid change
![]() |
Our 2025 Annual Report is titled 'Embracing Complexity'. Of course, all scientific research in dementia is complex, but in this instance the title reflects DPUK's growing role in developing what Professor John Gallacher calls 'complex knowledge'. This refers to the insights that emerge when different fields of expertise connect and, as a result, strengthen one another. |
The report includes
- updates on the continued evolution of the Data Portal
- reports on the success of the Trials Delivery Framework, which has over 80 clinical sites in its network across the UK - and registers representing over 70,000 participants, many highly characterised.
- a look forward to the growth of mechanism-led hubs and collaborative spaces which are benefitting from the Trusted Research Environment that is central to the wide range of Data Portal resources.
- how DPUK is anticipating the emerging data needs with federation across platforms, synthetic data and the increasing impact of AI in human-based research.
- the progress made in experimental medicine in neuroimmunology, synaptic and vascular dementia research.
