Across the UK, researchers in labs and clinics are working hard to understand more about the diseases that cause dementia, to find effective ways to diagnose, treat and reduce people's risk of developing the condition.

Join us at the Hadyn Ellis Building at Cardiff University for talks and discussion with local dementia researchers and find out about how research is making breakthroughs possible.

Speakers include:

• Dr Katy Stubbs - The path to life-changing breakthroughs
• Emily Baker - What is genetic risk and how can we use it to understand Alzheimer’s?
• Prof Vincent Dion - Gene editing: the future for dementia treatments?
• Dr Adele Pryce-Roberts - Understanding connections: from brain cells to people

The talks will run from 5:30-7:00pm, and refreshments will be provided beforehand from 5:00pm.

Earlier in the afternoon, there is a chance to go on tours of the labs and see dementia research first-hand. The tours will run from 4:00-5:00pm, but you'll need to register separately here to attend.
