The Alzheimer's Research UK Conference is being held in Belfast and coincides with Brain Awareness Week.
Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "We know that dementia is caused by diseases in the brain, but there are many questions left to be answered about how and why these diseases develop. This research is helping to answer these questions, which will help point us in the direction of new targets for treatment.
"The Alzheimer's Research UK Conference is the largest event of its kind in the UK and provides a perfect opportunity for Dr Anichtchik to showcase his pioneering research.
"There are 820,000 people in the UK living with dementia – 2,700 in Plymouth alone – but sadly there are no treatments that can slow or stop the diseases that cause dementia.
"As the UK's leading dementia research charity, Alzheimer's Research UK firmly believes that the answers lie in research and we are proud to be leading the way towards a cure."
