We apply the teamwork and problem-solving culture of Formula 1 to dementia research – helping close the gap between discovery and treatment.
Since 2016, support for Race Against Dementia has helped researchers build collaborations, pursue ambitious ideas and explore new pathways in dementia research.
Dementia research is entering a new era.
For decades, research focused primarily on understanding how dementia develops. Today, researchers are testing earlier detection methods, targeted therapies and ways of slowing disease progression.
With backing from the Race Against Dementia community, research teams are:
Race Against Dementia began with a diagnosis that changed one family’s life.
When Lady Helen Stewart was diagnosed with dementia in 2014, Sir Jackie responded with the instinct that had shaped his life in motorsport: solve problems early, learn quickly and keep improving.
Today, that determination reaches far beyond one family. Race Against Dementia brings together researchers, funders, partners and families affected by dementia – united by the belief that better research cannot wait.
From AI-driven analysis and brain imaging to clinical trials and live tissue research, Race Against Dementia-backed scientists are advancing new ways to diagnose, study and treat dementia.
