Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science
Over forty years of medical research - a journey of discovery, success and outcomes www.perroninstitute.org
Perron Institute is a world leader in neurological science and study, a global collaborator, a community campaigner, a research advocate, a futuristic visionary, a progressive, patient-focused organisation and home to Western Australia’s most successful break-through research team. The Perron Institute is an international leader in taking findings from the laboratory and developing advances in neurological care for the benefit of the community. At the cutting edge of neurological research in Perth, Western Australia, the Perron Institute collaborates with scientists and clinicians nationally and internationally. What makes the Institute unique is its connection with the treatment clinics. Our leading neurologists see people with various conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis and motor neurone disease plus movement disorders including Parkinson’s, essential tremor and dystonia, inflammatory muscle diseases including inclusion body myositis and polymyositis as well as a variety of unusual and rare muscle and nerve diseases. The Perron Institute’s clinics are open from Monday to Friday and provide diagnosis, management and treatments for patients with complex and usually long term, neurological and neuromuscular conditions. Founded in 1982, the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science is the longest established research institute in Western Australia.

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often experience lower bone density and earlier onset of Osteoporosis, increasing the risk of falls and/or fractures. The STRONG-MS study is evaluating a High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training (HiRIT) program, to see whether it can improve bone health, muscle strength, mobility, and quality of life in people with MS. Over the course of 12-months, free exercise sessions will be attended twice-weekly, each lasting 30-minutes.
Community Outreach takes our researchers to some interesting venues! Professor Anthony Akkari was invited to give a presentation on MND research and progress towards treatment at the Kojonup Community Men's Shed last week, to the wider local community.
Prof Akkari is co-Lead of the Motor Neurone Disease Genetics and Therapeutics and the Neuropharmacogenetics groups at Perron Insitute|Murdoch University and Director of the Personalised Medicine Centre.
