Dementia Research Nurse

Anya Soonderpershad
“I am so proud to be a BRACE-funded Dementia Research Nurse. Since joining the team in August 2022, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to studies that bring us closer to a cure for dementia. Each project, however small it may seem, represents progress in a field that urgently needs it. Seeing tangible results of dementia research, like the recent approval of Lecanemab, an early Alzheimer’s drug, for use in the UK, motivates me to keep pushing forward.
Our study participants are remarkable, and their excitement about being part of these advancements shows me the impact we can achieve together. We are hopeful that treatments like Lecanemab will soon be available on the NHS, making a difference for even more patients. I am incredibly grateful to BRACE for enabling me to be part of this journey. Together with my team, I’m not just hoping to make a difference - I’m part of the solution. With ongoing support, I am confident that together we can defeat dementia. Thank you for making this work possible!”
