Funding Amount

Summary
Treatment of MDD using trial and error can have serious consequences. It can prolong the patient’s suffering (depression is associated with substantial morbidity, and mortality), prolong their absence from work and other productive activity and increase the burden on their family-carers. This multi-national study will collect genetics, brain function and behavioural data from a large number of participants, allowing for sensitive predictors of response to be determined.
Preserving Ovarian Function During Chemotherapy And Old Age
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$425,048.00
Summary
Chemotherapy treatment and the natural ageing process leads to ovarian failure and infertility. For young cancer survivors, chemotherapy induced infertility is devastating, and like aged women, leads to hormonal changes that lead to osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, and neurodegeneration. Here, a new class of molecules will be tested for their ability to prevent and reverse infertility folllowing chemotherapy treatment, and in old age. These findings will improve the healthy lifespan of women.
