Our Research
The University of Aberdeen's research has a strong track record of research into brain health and neurodegenerative conditions including dementia. Our research diagnoses dementia earlier which means the treatments we are developing slow disease progression, work better and improve quality of life. It is also vital that we better understand what makes a person susceptible to developing dementia. Excellent inter-disciplinary research has been carried out, from bench to bedside.
Our Research Strengths;
- Experimental dementia research
- Drug discovery
- Brain Imaging cohort studies
- International research recognition
Our Supporters
Long-standing dementia donors and supporters, Charlie Bain and his wife Carol, have embarked on a series of fundraising ventures since 2011, driven by an ambition to achieve a real and long-term impact on the diagnosis, care and treatment of those living with dementia, across the north-east and around the world.
The efforts of Charlie and Carol and the generous people and organisations who have supported their events have enabled the crucial financial support for cutting-edge equipment and research at the University of Aberdeen.
