In 2021–22, Australia spent 1.68% of GDP on research, down from approximately 2.25% in 2008–09. This is well below the average of 2.7% of GDP for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations. 👎🏻 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵👇Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-micr…

When you're so tired from three days of neuroscience Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) #ANS2024 that you start to think the carpet is spatial transcriptomics 🤪

Thank you to Victor, Vladimir, Merja and Yazi for their fantastic talks today at the 2024 Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) Meeting in Perth. Queensland Brain Institute, UQ, Anggono Lab, Dr Merja Joensuu 🇫🇮🇦🇺, MQ Dementia Research Centre

Great feelings from the 2024 Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) Meeting. Ei Queensland Brain Institute, UQ, can I have a personalised QBI mug? I love these ones #EspressoYourMind

Congratulations to 27 #UQ researchers who have secured more than $29M through 3 NHMRC schemes to tackle critical health challenges and enhance patient outcomes, inform policy, and translate discoveries into impact. ➡️ tinyurl.com/27ez3f6d

I am thrilled to announce that my project "Viral-induced neuronal fusion: Uncovering a new cause of neurological dysfunction" has been awarded a 3year NHMRC Ideas grant! Happy to finally be able to work on this exciting project and engage in exciting collaborations Queensland Brain Institute, UQ

The first paper of the year is here! The discovery of a new gene, OSP-1, that protects neurons from oxidative stress. I am honoured to be part of this beautiful discovery from the Hilliard Lab at Queensland Brain Institute, UQ. Herculean job from first author Alessandra Donato 🇮🇹. nature.com/articles/s4146…

NEW Paper: If you're a fan of Rachel from 'Friends', you would love OSP-1, as it is also protective of ROS Donato et al. found a novel gene OSP-1 (oxidative stress protective 1) that protects neurons from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), by modulating autophagy.👇

Do not miss out on this amazing meeting! The deadline for abstract submission and registration is March 1st. Check out the program and apply now: meetings.embo.org/event/25-cell-… #EMBOcellBioComm EMBO

UQ researchers have discovered that linking real-time sounds to movement helps mice learn motor skills faster! 🐭 This finding could lead to better rehab strategies for stroke recovery, enhancing motor learning in humans. Read more: bit.ly/41H0WiI #UQ #QBI #brain

Online now in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146… We identify FTO as an endogenous negative regulator of PARP1 and the DNA damage response in cells beyond its role as an RNA demethylase. Thanks to Tianyi Zhu and Jocelyn Widagdo, who led this project.

Congratulations to Ramón Martínez-Mármol and the Fred Meunier from QBI whose paper on the neurotrophic effect of Lion's mane mushroom derivatives became one of the most viewed publications in the Journal of Neurochemistry. The paper is also #1 in Altmetric media attention in that journal. 🙌 What an
