From discovery to you

Research at The University of Queensland could eventually help develop viable treatments - and ultimately a cure - for motor neurone disease (MND). Dr Adam Walker and co-authors from QBI have identified biochemical changes in a protein that is affected by MND.

QBI researchers have presented their perspective of how focused ultrasound (FUS) may be employed to revolutionise the treatment of a wide range of neurological disorders, providing non-invasive, targeted therapies that can improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

A Parkinson's associated gene contributed to a build up of cell debris in the brain. This discovery could shift the focus of Parkinson's treatments.
