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).
Ross Maclean was QBI's first philanthropic donor, and it is from his initial generosity that we are launching clinical trials next year for a drug treatment for MND.
