NHS Lothian Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network (NDN)
The Lothian Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network (NDN) research team in Edinburgh, Scotland, brings together researchers, clinicians, and specialists with a shared goal: to improve how neurodegenerative conditions are understood, diagnosed, and treated.
We support and deliver clinical trials that aim to develop safe and effective new treatments for people living with progressive neurological conditions. Alongside this, we investigate how these conditions develop and progress, helping to expand knowledge and improve future care.
Our research focuses on:
Developing and testing new treatments
Understanding disease mechanisms
Improving early and accurate diagnosis
Investigating genetics and risk factors
Enhancing models of care
Our work is shaped by collaboration. We actively engage with people living with progressive neurological conditions, their families and caregivers, and healthcare professionals. This ensures our research reflects the real-world needs and lived experiences of those affected. We also work closely with research organisations across Scotland and internationally, sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources to accelerate progress.
