Dementia Researcher
Every 3 minutes someone develops dementia, and it is now the leading cause of death in the UK. And yet, 5 times fewer researchers in dementia compared to cancer. To tackle this challenge head on, we need to support emerging talent. That’s where you come in.
Being an early career researcher can be rewarding and challenging. It is as much about new discoveries and ideas as it is about the pressure to publish and competition for funding. So University College London and the National Institute for Health & Care Research got together with Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's Research UK, Alzheimer's Society and Race Against Dementia to create a website to inspire and support early career dementia researchers.
On our YouTube channel we share our video podcasts, narrated blogs, webinar records and regular do live streams to share science and careers advice from across all areas of discovery, from basic science to clinical and care research.
