Its operational headquarters and research activity at UCL is located in a new interim hub in our Cruciform building, which will move to a permanent home once it’s completed (see pages 36 — 37). We built high-quality, specialised labs and clinical facilities for its cutting-edge scientific equipment, which the DRI uses to advance treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s and dementia.
