Welcome to Dementias Platform UK
Detection. Treatment. Prevention.
Big Themes
Our academic conference, TRANSLATION 2023, is an opportunity to hear about new developments in dementia research and join discussions about big data, biomarkers and trials delivery – all of which can lead to new disease-modifying treatments for dementia.
MoreAbout DPUK
DPUK brings together the best scientific minds and global leaders in the pharmaceutical industry to find new ways of detecting, treating and preventing dementia.
Our data-driven platform gives scientists fast access to findings, technology and volunteers – powering research to stop dementia in its tracks.
