Supporting International Cutting Edge Research for Treatments for
Alzheimer's Disease
It is estimated that 1.1 million Australians will
have dementia in 2050.
Without treatments, expenditure on dementia is estimated to exceed $83
billion.
Alzheimer's disease comprises between 50% and 70% of all cases of
dementia.
Alzheimer's disease can be beaten.
The research of Prof Ralph Martins is an
integral part of an international research effort to develop
treatments.
We need your support to
continue this research so vital to the futures of the millions of
Australians who will be affected by Alzheimer's.
