Bredy

Queensland Brain Institute student Esmi Zajaczkowski has won a 2018 Westpac Future Leaders Scholarship.

QBI’s Associate Professor Timothy Bredy has received two highly competitive grants for his research into understanding the epigenetics of fear-related learning and memory, particularly in anxiety disorders such as post-traumatic stress (PTSD).

Prenatal brain development is a crucial period, and as new QBI research has found, even small alterations to the way brain cells develop can have significant effects later in life.
