🚨Great PhD opportunity (deadline 20 May!) to work on white matter molecular dysfunction in dementia with me ConceiçãoBettencourt, Dr Jo Barnes & Tammaryn Lashley at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. See further details and how to apply here: ucl.ac.uk/ion/building-y…

This #RareDiseaseDay , we celebrate the eighth birthday of RareDementiaSupport! 💜

We are incredibly proud to fund this vital service and its invaluable work supporting thousands across the UK affected by a rare form of dementia.

Check out this important paper from Alzheimer's Society Fellow Keir Yong and colleagues!

Their research helps us better understand a rare type of young-onset dementia called Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) that affects vision & spatial skills.

Great to see coverage on BBC news re treatment for Everyday Health. Watch BBCPanorama for the full story where I speak w/BBCFergusWalsh on new Alzheimer's meds. Benefits are modest but show potential for a new generation of effective therapies. 1/2

One step closer to treatment and prevention of FTD (and other anti-GRN strategies also in clinical trials)

Together, and with FDA engagement, families' support and GENFI & ALLFTD , FTD-GRN will be beaten.
