Making it easier for you to take part in brain health research that makes a difference

We have a range of Alzheimer’s disease studies and trials for people living in Scotland aged 50+. We welcome people with and without memory concerns, as well as carers and those with lived experience.

Once you register interest, we will review your information and aim to match you to a suitable trial at one of our research sites at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and BioHub in Aberdeen.

Our team provides clear information, expert clinical support, and a respectful, high-quality experience throughout.
