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.
The Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) is proud to announce a $1 million gift today from FightMND to help fund a study on whether changes in the make-up of nerves are involved in causing neurodegeneration in MND.
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.
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).
