Sir John Savill discusses how the MRC will bring together researchers and industry to work on the UK Dementias research platform.
Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) is a partnership between 29 public, private and third sector organisations, with core funding from the Medical Research Council. Based at Oxford University, it brings together expertise from universities, charities, and pharmaceutical and technology companies to enable crucial breakthroughs in #dementia #research.
Dementia is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It affects around 50 million people globally, with nearly a million cases in the UK alone. Yet, to date, there are no effective treatments.
DPUK is determined to help change that. By providing researchers from #academia and industry with access to the latest data, technologies and research opportunities – in a high-trust, non-competitive environment – it bridges the gap between discoveries in the lab and successful trials of new treatments.
