London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine — Dementia Prevention Research

[Scientific Research] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $730,000 over three years to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine to support research on drugs that may reduce the progression of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. Led by Professors Sinead Langhan and Charlotte Warren-Gash, the study will examine drugs used for treating immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) such as psoriasis, since related research suggests these drugs also lower the risk of developing dementia. This falls within our focus area of scientific research.
