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

  • Dr Isaac Akefe has uncovered the molecular mechanism and identified the genes underlying the memory creation process, opening the door to a potential treatment for neurodegenerative disorders. 
  • Svetlina Vasileva, a PhD student in the Eyles lab, has led a study to explore associations between the composition of the gut microbiome, schizophrenia and its treatment.
  • Researchers have studied nocturnal coral reef fish to uncover how these fish use specialised retinas for faster and more sensitive sight in low-light conditions, giving the fish the equivalent of in-built night-vision
