Impacting lives through research
A walk down memory lane
Read about the extraordinary career of Distinguished Professor Cliff Abraham, a world-leading neuroscientist whose work on memory has shaped the field in New Zealand and internationally.
The billion-molecule question
Learn how a team of incredible scientists at the University of Auckland are using supercomputing to screen billions of molecules, changing how we tackle brain disease in New Zealand.
Nasal delivery: a new way to treat brain cancer?
Could brain tumours be treated with chemotherapy packaged as a nasal spray? Dr Manisha Sharma and her research team aim to find out.
Treatments, preventions, even cures.
Can you help them become a reality?
Through the formal identification of a genetic cause, families can receive more personalised information about wellbeing for their child, what the future might hold, risks for other family members, and further support and therapy. Professor Louise Bicknell
We actually live in an exciting time of opportunity.
Distinguished Professor Cliff Abraham
Sometimes we don’t need entirely new drugs, we need better ways of delivering the ones we already have. Dr Manisha Sharma
YOUR DONATION GOES TOWARDS:
Discovery
Right now, an NZ-based team is screening human brain cells obtained from epilepsy surgery to discover compounds that can reduce brain inflammation. This is work that could lead to crucial advances in drug development.
Prevention
Science has shown that repeated head knocks can have terrible consequences. World-leading, NZ-based concussion research is helping inform new sports protocols, keeping Kiwis safer while still enjoying the pastimes they love.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Tears can reflect someone’s overall health and wellbeing. Now, researchers are exploring the amazing possibility of using them to diagnose Parkinson’s disease. Early diagnosis could lead to early treatment, improving quality of life for thousands of Kiwis.
Cures
Batten disease affects children, is always fatal and, sadly, there’s no known cure – yet. Now, NZ-based research is bringing the possibility of life-saving gene therapy closer, hopefully preventing the disease altogether.
Join the team that's helping accelerate scientific breakthroughs.
