NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia)
From advances in dementia and mental health to discoveries in chronic pain and falls prevention, Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) has been at the forefront of neuroscience for over 30 years. We are an independent, not-for-profit, medical research institute dedicated to improving the lives of people living with brain and nervous system disorders. To address the most pressing health needs and achieve maximum impact, our research is divided into three strategic themes: neurodegeneration, mental health and translational neuroscience. Within these areas, we research a broad range of conditions including: Neurodegeneration - Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, brain ageing research in Indigenous populations. Mental Health - Wellbeing and resilience, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder. Translational neuroscience - Balance and falls, pain and injury, brain mapping. What started in 1990 as discussion around a kitchen table between four scientists has now become a 300-person strong institute with 28 research groups and purpose-built facilities. Based in the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct, Sydney, we support the most passionate scientists leading the most promising research – all while continuing to promote awareness, community education, and inspire lifelong support for neuroscience research.
