Racing to find a breakthrough in the prevention or treatment of dementia

Today, more than 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia. Without a cure, one in three people born today will die with dementia. A new person develops dementia every three seconds, and it is anticipated that by 2030 the global societal cost of caring for dementia patients will exceed US$2.8 trillion.
