How do we cure Alzheimer’s disease?

Dementia is now Australia's leading cause of death, and Alzheimer's disease is its most common form.

In the past few decades, scientists have mapped its genetics, pinpointed its early warning signs, and identified hundreds of risk factors. Yet, a cure remains stubbornly out of reach.

Eleanor Drummond is one of Australia's leading Alzheimer's researchers. She'll take on the tough questions: Are scientists chasing the wrong targets? Are treatments starting too late? Is Alzheimer's even a single disease, or several? She’ll take a hard look at what the science has missed, and where a new path forward might finally lie.
