We support groundbreaking research to find a cure – faster
Race Against Dementia identifies, funds and guides pioneering scientists from across the world.
We work to achieve better diagnoses, understand risks, develop treatments and find a cure for dementia.
We disrupt current practices – sharing technologies and forging new collaborations across disciplines, institutions and industries. We echo the pace and precision of Formula 1.
Our flagship programme- Race Against Dementia Fellowships.
We partner with the respected dementia research charities to launch open calls for applicants. Scientific expert panels select the top talent. Once chosen, Fellows join Race Against Dementia’s cohort of exceptional dementia researchers and receive training in a Formula 1-style mindset to fast-track their progress. All Race Against Dementia Fellows gather for annual training and additional ad-hoc training events. Race Against Dementia matches researchers with one or more suitable mentors, often a Formula 1, industry or commercial professional.
