One in three of us is destined for dementia, bringing huge heartbreak for families and costs to the NHS and the economy. Yet we are at a tipping-point in dementia research, with advances in understanding different dementias leading to many potential treatments ready for clinical trials. The challenges remain substantial, however: technologically, ethically, and medically.
In this conversation, three leading Cambridge scientists discuss the pathway to a cure for dementia. Their experience brings together clinical, academic and industry experience with a shared vision of collaborative cross-disciplinary research to address key issues: What does it mean to diagnose someone, when no two people are the same in genetics, life experience, background, or symptoms? How can we harness Big Data and Artificial Intelligence while protecting individual privacy and diversity? And what policy and political changes do we need to accelerate diagnosis, treatment and prevention?
Book online to join us for this timely and critical discussion and live Q&A with the panel, as they share their insight and optimism about dementia both in the UK, and globally.
