Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky said the team of researchers had completed successful testing on mice, which had been "genetically programmed to get dementia and Alzheimer's disease".
"We were able to prevent the memory loss in the mice and obviously the next step is to take this into human clinical trials," he told ABC Radio Adelaide.
He has been working on the vaccine for two decades, and said he hoped human trials would start in the next 18 to 24 months.
'The breakthrough of the next decade': Dementia vaccine set to start human trials
This would be awesome.
