Bill Gates, the software billionaire, has said he will invest in a British dementia fund set up to accelerate the search for a cure.
The Dementia Discovery Fund (DDF) was launched by the Government and British charities and pharmaceutical firms in 2015.
The Microsoft founder, 62, said he was looking to invest another $50 million in start up dementia companies. He said, “We are at a turning point in Alzheimer’s research and development, in which the DDF is playing an important role.”
