18.01.2022 Unravelling the complexity of brain circuitry is a major goal in neuroscience. A novel technique taking 'chemogenetics' one step further has been developed in a collaboration between the Florey and The University of Melbourne. Expected to have widespread use across brain research, it could help reveal new information about the brain. No doubt this technique has applications beyond what we currently realise that will shed light on many different neural systems in health and ...disease states. We hope it is picked up and used widely in the science community to make further discoveries, said the Florey's Professor Ross Bathgate.

01.01.2022 Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease at 55 was in some ways a mental and physical relief for the Hon. Mr John Eren MP who has shared his moving story in an article by The New Daily. Both Mr Eren and Head of the Florey's Parkinson's Disease Laboratory, Prof David Finkelstein, hope to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis in Parkinson's and urge people to continue seeing their doctor. At the Florey, Prof Finkelstein's team are developing a new generati...on of therapies aiming to slow down progression of the disease. Thank you for sharing your story John.
