ABOUT US
Alzheimer's Research Charity is a UK-based charity, registered with the UK Charity Commission , as The Campaign for Alzheimer's Research in Europe. We support activities both within the UK and in collaboration with Europe..
We were founded in 1999 when several trustees of the former Alzheimer's Research Trust sought to refocus the charity's commitment to supporting research into the understanding and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's Research Charity is guided exclusively by supporting the best scientists and best academic science throughout Europe,
Alzheimer's Research Charity also supports academic meetings to encourage scientific exchange and collaboration between the leading research centres and teams throughout Europe.
