Impacting lives through research

Diagnosis in the palm of your hand
Dr Hamid Abbasi says a cerebral palsy diagnostic app that turns people’s own phones into diagnostic tools could be rolled out within 2-3 years.

Bringing back joy to people’s lives
Swallowing disorders can make people feel isolated and afraid. But with the right treatment, they're able to enjoy life again.

Genetic research with lasting impact
The lives of 11 families have been transformed with a diagnosis that could only have been reached through pioneering genetic research.
Treatments, preventions, even cures. Can you help them become a reality?
The best research is where you just head in a direction. You can’t list what your outcomes are going to be before you start. Be innovative. Distinguished Professor Sir Richard Faull
Being able to understand what is changing in brain diseases is the final frontier.
Professor Maurice Curtis
A diagnosis is incredibly powerful. Our passion is to be able to help both clinicians & families, often in a global context. Associate Professor Louise Bicknell, University of Otago
I'm excited about the future, where technology & research will make treatment more accessible and effective for everyone. Dr Sarah Perry, Senior Research Fellow
Investing in future stars
Helping early-career researchers connect, exchange ideas and continue learning is a vital part of growing the next generation.
A Neurological Foundation-supported retreat at Leigh brought together 30 early-career researchers from across New Zealand. The purpose: to lay the foundation for future neurological research that’s inter-disciplinary, collaborative and impactful. Everyone presented their own research and learned how to work effectively across different fields. The workshop was a huge success, with excellent speakers, engaging sessions and very practical advice.
