Japanese pharma major Eisai (TYO: 4523) knows from its own setbacks how challenging R&D in dementia is, but the company is not giving up and is now linking up with a UK charity to accelerate research.

The partnership with the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is aimed at delivering innovative research that translates into improvements in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of all types of dementia.

As the aging of the global population gathers pace, the number of dementia patients worldwide is expected to reach 82 million in 2030 and 152 million in 2050.
