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+. Our research is open to people with:

  • a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment or other dementia diagnosis
  • significant memory concerns but no diagnosis
  • family history of Alzheimer’s and dementia

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.
