Genomic investigation of major human diseases and lifespan [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Graham Neely (Principal investigator)

Brief description I am focused on finding disease genes for major human neurological diseases that increase with age. In my future research I will use human population genetics data combined with animal research to find genes that can block pain perception, or promote long life while preserving brain function in the elderly. My research efforts can help provide a better basic understanding of age-related diseases, and may help us identify new therapies to help us live productive, long lives.
