Funding for Ph.D. post in dementia with Lewy bodies research

(University of Plymouth) Research at Plymouth University investigating a potential therapy for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), the second-most prevalent form of dementia, has received a boost with funding from dementia research charity BRACE. The funding for a Ph.D. post will support ongoing research into DLB, which is caused by tiny deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in nerve cells.
