Translation 2023
Dementias Platform UK 's conference Translation2023
Translation 2023 is part of a change to the landscape of dementia research, and took place at BMA House on 2-3 March 2023.
Attendees came from academia, industry, the third sector and government, and heard about the latest research in human experimental medicine for dementia.
The challenge for dementia research is translating discoveries in the lab into experimental trials and on to therapies and new drugs quickly, at scale and using all available research channels.
There were discussions about exciting developments in big data, biomarkers and trials delivery – all of which can lead to new disease-modifying treatments for dementia.
