Funded Activity Summary

High blood pressure and stroke are major health concerns in Australia. Due to the aging population, the incidence of these diseases is expected to rise. This project aims to identify novel molecules that protect cerebral vessels and the brain against the deleterious effects of high blood pressure and stroke. The identification of such molecules may have implications for the development of new therapies and may result in the delay of dysfunction in the brain and improved overall brain health.
