About us
Race Against Dementia, founded by Sir Jackie Stewart, raises and allocates funds to research in the race to find a prevention or treatment for dementia. Unless something changes, one in three people born today will get dementia and currently there are no disease-modifying treatments. Investment is critically needed. The Race Against Dementia (RAD) Fellowship Programme draws from the most promising early career scientific talent around the world. Collaboration with forward-thinking organisations in Formula One, as well as other innovative organisations, brings the dynamic attitude, dedication and agility of Grand Prix teamwork to drive results in dementia research. The programme not only accelerate the Fellows’ personal research agendas, but also aspires to catalyse a change in dementia research culture globally. The Race Against Dementia Fellows benefit from mentoring with both high tech organisations and a global academic network.

Racing towards answers through collaboration. In September, Race Against Dementia Fellows Dr Karissa Barthelson and Dr. Jake Brooks took their research to the next level at Diamond Light Source - one of the world’s most advanced scientific facilities. Karissa and Jake have teamed up to study iron buildup in the brain, focusing on Sanfilippo syndrome - a type of childhood dementia. They used a synchrotron which is 10,000 times more powerful than a microscope - capturing images of iron deposits in brain cells. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/edU4k3Rj #raceagainstdementia #collaboration #childhooddementia

Tracking the invisible dementia trigger in air pollution 🧠 Team RAPID is based at The Francis Crick Institute (UCL). The teams funded by Race Against Dementia & Rosetrees are focused on uncovering how PM2.5 pollutants may drive brain inflammation and neurodegeneration, contributing to cognitive decline. 👉 Full Article : https://lnkd.in/eW8H7q92 By tackling the role of air pollution in neurodegeneration, they are charting a new course for research that could one day lead to disease modifying interventions. #raceagainstdementia
