Dementias and Neurodegenerative Diseases Research Network (DeNDRoN)

Information

The Dementias and Neurodegenerative Diseases Research Network (DeNDRoN) will facilitate the conduct of randomised prospective trials and other well-designed studies of the dementias and neurodegenerative diseases, including those for prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The creation of a UK research network for dementias and neurodegenerative diseases allows a sharing of resources and methodological expertise across a wide range of disabling long-term disorders which we recognise to share many common factors. It builds on the strengths already present in the UK as well as increasing general capacity in the field of dementia and neurodegeneration and will cover major diseases including Alzheimers, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Huntington’s Disease.

DeNDRoN is one of six Topic Specific Research Networks overseen by the UK Clinical Research Network.
