There are nearly 10 million new cases of dementia every year worldwide. Although it often affects older people, it is not a 'normal' part of the ageing process. In this live event - part of our #ScienceatHome campaign - we'll be chatting to Dr Pavandeep Rai about drug discovery techniques for new therapies and treatments for dementia, particularly Parkinson's Disease, and about her work in the University of Oxford Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics.

Ask your questions by putting them in the chat box.
