Expand the landscape of novel targets and mechanisms to develop into new dementia drugs (no shortage of opportunities) Including mechanisms proven in oncology, inflammation, metabolism etc Share learnings (successes and failures) Broader geographic sourcing of science/academics 2. Build more robust preclinical and clinical translational data packages to increase the success of new drug development Human tissue preclinical models Biomarker development Broader clinical evaluation in stratified patient groups 3. Leverage DDF's investments in novel translational biology to build momentum and confidence in the field, bringing more R&D funding into dementia drug discovery 4. Invest further in catalytic infrastructure to support dementia drug discovery beyond ChemCo, e.g. blood-brain-barrier technologies, iPSC banks, diagnostic technologies, novel clinical end points -* Larger DDF fund will enable discovery and development of many more than 2-3 novel drugs for dementia patients (both through the DDF and beyond) 73 PROT72
