Forte highlights dementia research centre at Karolinska Institutet
Forte has announced long-term funding for two national research centres aimed at strengthening knowledge on care and support for people living with dementia. One of the centres, Tracedem – KI Transdisciplinary Research Center for Personalized Dementia Prevention & Care, has been operating at Karolinska Institutet since January 2026.
TraCeDem brings together researchers to study dementia across the entire disease trajectory – from prevention and early detection to care, support and quality of life in later stages.
“This is particularly important right now, as dementia is a growing public health challenge, while care and support services are often fragmented and inequitable,” says Amaia Calderón-Larrañaga, associate professor at the Aging Research Center (ARC) at the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society and director of TraCeDem.
The funding is part of Forte’s government assignment to strengthen research on dementia care and support.
