“Beating dementia will take every avenue of research – from using what we already know, to discovering new drugs to treat and prevent the condition. Drug repurposing is a vital part of that mix, helping us turn today's medicine for one condition, into tomorrow's treatment for another.”
What Professor Anne Corbett has said
“What excites me most is that this work makes this type of research far more accessible. We're moving toward a future where anyone, anywhere, can contribute to advancing our understanding of brain diseases.”

“Our previous research has shown that a finger-prick blood test can effectively be taken at home and posted to labs, and that we can identify the biomarkers in blood linked to dementia. This new study builds on that to show that we can link these biomarkers with performance on brain tests, giving us a potential way to predict risk of dementia.”
