QBI’s Professor Fred Meunier advocated that The University of Queensland invest in super-resolution microscopy. In recent years, super-resolution microscopy has revolutionised how scientists view molecules aggregating, revealing new insight into brain diseases.
QBI's Professor Steven Zuryn and Tessa Onraet share their insight on the fascinating role of mitochondria and how it may help us understand more about the ageing brain and potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
QBI's Associate Professor Tara Walker and Professor Jana Vukovic investigate how exercise enhances cognitive capacity from different angles, and the health benefits exercise has on our brains.
QBI's Professor Massimo Hilliard and Dr Ramon Martinez-Marmol have been extending the limits of what is known about neuronal fusion and its exciting potential to one day revolutionise nerve injury repair.
Mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, and the scientific evidence behind their beneficial properties is now growing after recent discoveries from Professor Frederic Meunier and his team at the UQ Queensland Brain Institute.
Professor Frederic Meunier and his lab use super-resolution microscopy to observe single molecules in living neurons to discover how brain cells communicate.
Dr Adam Walker and his team use genetic editing techniques and rapidly advancing technology to study the biological processes that cause MND, in the hope to design new therapies that prevent or halt its progression.
