It was a pleasure to share the latest Alzheimer's research with Lord Cameron when he visited @UniofOxford's Centre for Medicines Discovery at NDM. The research, funded by @AlzResearchUK, is focused on improving treatments for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

[David Cameron @David_Cameron]

Licensed Alzheimer’s treatments now exist, but there's still more to do before we find a 'statin for the brain'. @AlzResearchUK’s Drug Discovery Institutes are working on the vital search for new treatments. Inspiring to see their work firsthand at @NDMOxford
