Bringing together clinicians and researchers in the UK working on frontotemporal dementia and associated disorders.

FTDUK is co-ordinated by Professor Jonathan Rohrer (University College London), Professor James Rowe (University of Cambridge), Dr Kathryn Bowles (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Jenna Gregory (University of Aberdeen).

We run an Early Career Researcher prize for FTD researchers – this is open to any researcher who is a research assistant, PhD student or postdoctoral researcher within 5 years of completion of their PhD.

We have been running FTD UK since 2011 and after an absence during the Covid pandemic we returned in 2023 to run our 10th meeting. The meeting remains free to attend and was in Edinburgh in 2025. Registration will reopen in early 2026 for the next meeting, which will take place at UCL.

We are very thankful to Alzheimer’s Research UK and the Guarantors of Brain who have kindly helped to fund the event each year through conference grants, and to the Alzheimer’s Society who have funded the Early Career Researcher Prize awards.
