Leadership

The Queensland Brain Institute is a world-leading research facility focused on discovering the fundamental mechanisms that regulate brain function.  Unlike research institutes that focus on a specific disease or condition, QBI is structured to study the brain’s fundamental molecular and physiological mechanisms.

This unique strategic approach, led by QBI’s Director Professor Perry Bartlett FAA (above), is seen as the most productive way to create an environment of discovery that will lead to the development of much-needed therapeutic treatments for neurological disorders and neurotrauma.

Professor Bartlett is internationally renowned in the field of cellular and molecular neuroscience, a fact highlighted by his election as a Fellow of the Australian Academy and the awarding of a prestigious Australian Research Council Federation Fellowship in 2003.  He was appointed Foundation Chair in Molecular Neuroscience at The University of Queensland in 2002 and the inaugural Director of the Queensland Brain Institute in 2003.
