The FTD talk team is led by Jonathan Rohrer. We work within the Dementia Research Centre in the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.
FTD talk is a home for the frontotemporal dementia community, providing information and factsheets about FTD. We also blog about our research, which aims to develop new biomarkers and support people throughout their journey.
We run the Genetic FTD Initiative (GENFI) and Early Detection of Frontotemporal dementia (EDOF) studies and co-ordinate the FTD Prevention Initiative (FPI).
We also help organize the yearly FTD UK meeting for clinicians and researchers in the UK.
