A collaboration between The University of Queensland (UQ) and the Queensland Emory Drug Discovery Initiative (QEDDI) has received a $550,000 FightMND grant to create and test new molecules for motor neurone disease (MND) treatment.
Dr Rebecca San Gil has mapped out the proteins implicated in MND across the trajectory of the disease, identifying potential therapeutic pathways for further investigation.
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.
Unlocking the mystery behind the catastrophic death of nerve cells in neurodegenerative disease is driving the fight against motor neuron disease (MND) and frontotemporal dementia.
University of Queensland students have swapped a summer holiday at the beach for time in the lab as the annual UQ SEC Summer Research Program began at the Queensland Brain Institute.
Generous support from FightMND will allow QBI researchers to conduct a clinical trial, identify new drug targets, and progress towards personalised treatments for motor neurone disease (MND).
