Our understanding of the brain and its disorders will be boosted with the establishment of an international partnership.
The University of Queensland and Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in China will jointly investigate how our brain functions and the activity of neurons in health and disease.
Professor Pankaj Sah, Director of UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), said the SUSTech-UQ Centre for Neuroscience and Neural Engineering would deliver a step change in understanding neuroscience through establishment of two collaborative nodes, one at UQ and one at SUSTech.
UQ and SUSTech will contribute a total of A$1 million each over the next five years to the centre.
