Motor neurone disease

Dr Shyuan Ngo MND research has been recognised by a prestigious Young Tall Poppy Science Award.

Researchers have discovered three new genes associated with motor neurone disease.

UQ researchers have discovered a potential MND drug target to delay disease onset and keep dying motor neurons alive for longer.

Nancy Frates, mother of Pete Frates, whose viral video kickstarted the Ice Bucket Challenge, will talk about the phenomenon at the Motor Neurone Disease Symposium.

Bucket-loads of icy water dunked on Australian heads last year has translated into more than a million dollars, enough to pool a team of experts to find treatments for motor neurone disease (MND).

A new Fellowship in motor neurone disease (MND) research has been announced on the first anniversary of the death of campaigner and fundraiser Scott Sullivan.
