We work within the Dementia Research Centre in the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.
Our work focuses on developing new biomarkers for FTD. We hope that these will be used in clinical trials both to understand when to start treatment and also to work out whether drugs are working or not. We investigate multiple different types of biomarkers including cognition, MR and PET imaging, and blood and spinal fluid measures.
Our work also aims to support patients with FTD and their family members throughout the lifetime of the disease and into trials.
We are very thankful to the people who help fund our research. We have received funding from the following research councils and charities:
