University of Queensland (UQ) researcher Dr Margreet Ridder has been named the inaugural Dr Ian Davis OAM Award recipient for the 2024 top-ranked FightMND project.

The need to increase diversity in genetic studies to maximise the potential of discovering causes and possible treatments of psychiatric disorders has been recognised.

Our blood can be used to uncover genetic secrets inside the brain, according to new research

Professor Jian Yang, from QBI and the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB), has been awarded the Prime Minister's Frank Fenner Prize for Life Scientist of the Year for his pioneering work in helping to unravel the complexity of the human genome and genetic traits.

Scientists have identified a location on the genome associated with MND, providing new avenues for research into potential treatments.

Researchers from QBI are seeking the help of Australian mothers to identify the genetic factors involved in postpartum depression.

QBI's Professor Naomi Wray has been named among 21 new Australian Academy of Science Fellows.

QBI is a major collaborator in the first national biobank of autism genetic information.

A $25 million boost to genomics research at Queensland research institutions will help QBI experts in their efforts to improve healthcare.
