You can help progress our research
You don't have to be a scientist to get involved with QBI. We offer a range of opportunities for everyday people to connect and progress our research and discoveries.
The foundation for all of our work is the funding we receive through a range of sources, including philanthropic donations from our generous supporters. There are many ways to give to QBI: directly, through planned giving, or holding fundraising events that entertain or challenge supporters as they dig deep to help us better understand the brain.
We also offer opportunities for students to learn directly from our inspiring researchers through lab placements, and for community members to tour our facilities and attend events. Finally, you can give one of the greatest gifts of all by volunteering for studies to advance treatments and diagnostics for brain diseases and disorders.

Research in action
- Emeritus Professor Perry Bartlett and Dr Daniel Blackmore from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute led a longitudinal study to find that high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function in older adults for up to 5 years.
- Dr Gabriela-Oana Bodea in the Faulkner lab has been investigating a specific type of mobile genes, called retrotransposons, linked to several neurological diseases, including schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease.
- Professor Barry Dickson has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his contribution to science over 30 years, joining the ranks of the world’s most eminent scientists.
