Professor Rob Howard works to develop and evaluate better treatments for people with dementia and for psychosis in older people by investigating the mechanisms of symptoms and through the conduct of independent clinical trials. For example, their trials have shown the cognitive, functional and independent living benefits of continuing dementia drugs until the late stages of Alzheimer's disease (DOMINO) and of antipsychotic treatment in people with very late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (ATLAS).
