Funded Activity Summary

Australia has a rapid increase in its ageing population, and consequently an increase in detrimental age-related dementia and neurodegenerative diseases which are a major healthcare burden. Current treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s are inadequate and there is a desperate need for new treatments. I have unique access to molecules that target two novel mechanisms for neurodegenerative diseases. This fellowship will explore their therapeutic potential.
