UQ granted $6 million for two new Centres of Research Excellence

Published on: 30 August 2024

University of Queensland researchers have received two $3 million grants from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) to accelerate knowledge and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, and to improve gynaecological cancer treatment.

New antibody restores brain protein balance by targeting Tau

Published on: 12 August 2024

QBI researchers have generated a promising Tau antibody as a potential immunotherapy treatment aimed at targeting harmful Tau tangles, which cause various proteins in the brain to become dysregulated in Alzheimer's disease.

UQ research reveals exercise brain boost can last for years

Published on: 10 July 2024

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.

Ultrasound therapy shows promise as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease

Published on: 2 April 2024

QBI researchers have discovered that targeting amyloid plaque is not essential to improve cognition with ultrasound treatment in patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

Unravelling the mysteries of the presynapse with super resolution microscopy

Published on: 20 March 2024

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) have revealed the pivotal role played by Synapsin 2a proteins in orchestrating the organisation and mobility of synaptic vesicles within live neurons.

Extracellular Vesicles in Neurodegenerative Diseases (EViND)

13 May 2024 8:30am–5:30pm

in Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research Symposium

This EViND symposium aims to underscore the significance of research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and broader brain functions. The symposium will discuss the role of EVs in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Prion disease.
