Auditory and Vestibular Ringing--Detection and theraputic interventions. Tinnitus effects up to 30% of the elderly population. To date no single suppression modality has been successful across all tinnitus sufferers. This study will apply an aural, low level, modulated, fractal suppression strategy designed to induce a "natural" olivary efferent response capable of suppressing/reducing tinnitus.

Balance disorders e.g. Meniere's Disease and nausea (seasickness) are unwanted outcomes of vestibular dysfunction/hypersensitivity. This study will apply a low level, low frequency, modulated, acoustic pressure wave designed to induce a ?natural? olivary efferent response and an end organ endolymph/perilymph balance shift. It is postulated these stimuli will reduce the effects of vestibular dysfunction/hypersensitivity.

Summary
High-throughput automated cell culture facility. This facility, the first of its kind in Australia, is a state-of-the art, robotic technology for large scale cell culture for high throughput production of cells for stem cell biology, drug discovery, and cancer research. It brings together research teams to apply frontier technologies in stem cell biology, genome biology and drug development to better understand and find treatments for diseases, especially brain disorders and diseases. It will be ....High-throughput automated cell culture facility. This facility, the first of its kind in Australia, is a state-of-the art, robotic technology for large scale cell culture for high throughput production of cells for stem cell biology, drug discovery, and cancer research. It brings together research teams to apply frontier technologies in stem cell biology, genome biology and drug development to better understand and find treatments for diseases, especially brain disorders and diseases. It will be located at Griffith University complementing the most advanced suite of high throughput instruments currently available internationally. It will be shared by Australia's leaders in adult stem cell biology, wound repair and natural products drug discovery at Queensland's three leading Universities.Read moreRead less
