With NHS budgets stretched and Britain's population living longer, choices about where research money goes matter more than ever. Rank these areas by which you'd personally prioritise for greater investment.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Research
Nearly a million people in the UK live with dementia, yet treatments remain limited. Investment here could ease enormous pressure on families and social care.
Cancer Detection and Treatment
One in two Britons will face cancer in their lifetime. Advances in early screening and personalised therapies could save countless lives.
Mental Health Neuroscience
Waiting lists for mental health services are at record highs. Deeper research into depression, anxiety and psychosis could transform care.
Antibiotic Resistance
Superbugs threaten to make routine surgery dangerous again. New antibiotics and alternatives are urgently needed to protect modern medicine.
Heart Disease and Stroke
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in the UK. Better prevention and treatment could add healthy years to millions of lives.
