In the spirit of this year’s theme, 'Nobody Can Do It Alone', we invite you to join us next month for Artful Community Day – a celebration of creativity, community and care through art-making and sharing. Everyone is welcome.

New world-leading MRI technology will unlock unprecedented medical imaging capabilities for researchers, clinicians and industry.

The Cima.X 3T MRI Clinical Research Facility delivers imaging capabilities not previously available in NSW, strengthening the state’s capacity for advanced medical research and clinical translation.

Prof Sharon Naismith, AM heads the Healthy Brain Ageing Program, University of Sydney Program at the Brain and Mind Centre, a one-of-its kind intervention research clinic for dementia. Naismith will be one of the first researchers to have access to the new scanner.

“This MRI technology will allow us to use sophisticated new methods to determine how this brain area works and changes and help us understand when and why sleep problems happen during dementia and guide us toward better treatments in the future.”

Congratulations to Dr Nick Everett, with Psylo, Tessara Therapeutics awarded $3 million CRC-P grant to develop novel neuroplastogens for the treatment of substance use disorders!

Dr Everett of the Translational Psychopharmacology research team focuses on substance use disorders.

This newly funded research has the potential to not only develop a novel pharmacotherapy for addictions by targeting neural and cognitive processes which are often overlooked as therapeutic targets (Psylo), but also to transform the pre-clinical development pipeline for novel addiction therapeutics to bring much-needed scale, efficiency, and validity to this underfunded and slow-moving field (Tessara Therapeutics).

Australian government (Cooperative Research Centres) CRC-P grant will enable the research into substance use disorder to continue.
