Dementias Platform UK
@dementiasplatform.bsky.social
Powering research to find new ways of detecting and treating #dementia. Providing infrastructure to enable research at scale and pace. Funded by #MedicalResearchCouncil. Based at Oxford University with teams at universities across the UK and in industry.
Thrilled that biomarker pilot project, delivered with Eli Lilly & Company and 4 NHS trusts, has won the prestigious @HSJ_Awards Partnership of the Year Award 2025! The project aims to transform early diagnosis of #Alzheimer’s disease by testing the scalability of biomarker diagnostics.

A fantastic new milestone for the @dpukdataportal.bsky.social which has passed last year's record access requests - hitting 150 so far in 2025. AND we've had over 2,500 dataset requests too. Continued growth for an extraordinary #dementia #research resource. #aging #cognition
