Ever wondered what it's like working at the cutting edge of dementia research? Hear firsthand from some of our leading neuroscientists who share their proudest moments and their hopes for the future.
Doctor Dan Blackmore
"The next ten years is going to be both incredibly exciting and rewarding. We are now successfully translating our fundamental research, obtained in animal models, into the clinical space."
Professor Frederic Meunier
"Most people know someone that has developed dementia. It is a path that has no return, and trying to understand what goes wrong and identify novel targets is a truly rewarding research path."
Professor Elizabeth Coulson
"Asking simple questions and following our curiosity leads to new discoveries which is new knowledge. We don’t know what we will find, but once we’ve found something new often we can't think how that knowledge fits with existing knowledge and/or might be applied in lifestyle changes or treatments for better brain health and/or mental health."
Associate Professor Victor Anggono
“The Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research (CJCADR) has become a melting pot of talents who are passionate about brain and dementia research and who continue to push the boundaries of what we do. I’m confident that CJCADR will still be one of the best places for training our future generation of neuroscientists so that we can continue our legacy.”
Professor Gail Robinson
I hope my research into early detection of changes in cognition and behaviour can feed into better cognitive assessment tools so that people understand what has changed as early as possible.
