The distinct neural signatures of motor neuron disease [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Thanuja Dharmadasa (Principal investigator)

Brief description Motor neuron disease (MND) is a progressive neurological disorder with no effective treatment. This project aims to characterise the evolution of MND from its earliest stage and identify how the disease spreads using state-of-the art brain imaging tools and functional assessments across two world-class facilities. This knowledge will improve early MND diagnosis, develop markers of disease activity, and tailor recruitment into therapeutic trials.
