UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBThe UK DRI breaks new ground by bringing together world-leading expertise in biomedical, care and translational dementia research in a national institute.
About us - UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBLaunched in 2017, the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the single biggest investment the UK has ever made in dementia thanks to founding funders the Medical Research Council (MRC), Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Our science - UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBWe have a clearly defined vision at the UK DRI to develop effective therapeutics, diagnostics and technologies for people living with dementia. Alongside building our disease knowledge over the coming years, we will also make progress in translating these discoveries into the clinic.
Our centres | UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBOur hub plus six centres are hosted in leading universities across the UK, bringing people together for shared scientific inspiration whilst making the most of cutting-edge tools and infrastructure locally. Our researchers are connected, wherever their labs are based.
Cambridge | UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBThe UK DRI at Cambridge aims to use interdisciplinary, groundbreaking approaches for new mechanistic understanding that will bring new treatments to tackle dementia.

Imperial College London | UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBSo understandably, much of the current research into dementia is focussed on the brain – to explore what leads to the gradual loss of function and death of neurons. The UK DRI at Imperial brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds with fresh perspectives.
UCL | UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBThe UK DRI at UCL is the hub of the institute, taking knowledge from the lab all the way to treatments for people living with dementia – drawing on biomarkers, imaging and clinical research facilities.
Edinburgh | UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBThe mission of the UK DRI at Edinburgh is to elucidate the interactions within and between the brain vasculature, neurons, macroglia and microglia which control the trajectory of neurodegenerative disorders leading to dementia and exploit this …
Cardiff | UK DRI: UK Dementia Research Institute
WEBThe strategy of the UK DRI at Cardiff builds upon its current research strengths in dementia genetics; immunology; computational analysis; cellular and whole system modelling and neuroimaging, to identify disease mechanisms and novel therapies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s diseases (HD) and other ...
