The UQ Queensland Brain Institute has joined forces with Rotary Queensland to help raise $5 million by 2025 to fund an Endowed Chair at QBI to help with the prevention and treatment of disorders like dementia, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. This breakthrough project will give a leading neuroscientist and their team the freedom to be brave and innovative and provide the opportunity to explore new horizons that have never been investigated before.

Watch as Queensland Brain Institute researcher, Dr Rebecca San Gil, explains how she has mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neurone disease (MND). "We found several proteins that were driving disease forward and making it worse... but we also found groups of proteins that are increased early in disease and are protective."

If you’re a fan of the new TV show ‘Pluribus’, you’d think that a psychic glue capable of binding us and our brains is pure science fiction. 🧬 But a “molecular glue” that can repair damaged nerve cells is a future goal for QBI scientists studying neuronal fusion! Hear Professor Massimo Hilliard and Dr Ramon Martinez-Marmol break down neuronal fusion on our latest episode of A Grey Matter. 🎧 Listen now: https://bit.ly/3Lu4krO #AGreyMatter #Neurons #Fusion #QBI #BrainResearch #DiscoveryScience #

Queensland Brain Institute Researchers Dr Ramon Martinez-Marmol and Professor Massimo Hilliard have made an important discovery about the impact of Long COVID on the brain. The research shows that the virus can cause brain cells to fuse, initiating malfunctions that lead to chronic neurological symptoms.
