Description

MARC is one of the leading centres in Europe for memory and dementia research.



The Memory Assessment & Research Centre runs research trials (you'll also hear them referred to as clinical trials) into memory problems and dementia.

Research trials are used to help with understanding how to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. This may involve comparing existing treatments or looking at new ones. They are important to ensure that the best advice and treatments are being provided to patients. Most importantly, clinical research is the key to improving patient care.
