Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Arun Krishnan (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Cindy Lin ,  Mr Chris Brown

Brief description Australia has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world. Diabetes may be complicated by the development of nerve damage, causing weakness and pain in the upper and lower limbs. The cause remains unclear and there are no tools available for its early detection. This study will provide further information about the cause of diabetic neuropathy and will investigate more sophisticated means for its early detection.
