Neurosurgical Research Foundation

Neuroscience researchers are looking for ways to improve treatments which can save lives of children and adults living with these neurosurgical and neurological conditions.

• Brain Tumours – how cancer invades the brain

• Spinal Cord Injury – as a result of sporting or car accidents

• Traumatic Brain Injury – how to halt life threatening brain swelling

• Concussion – how to stop the neurodegeneration in head trauma caused by concussion

• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome – understanding the risk of head trauma in vulnerable juveniles

• Paediatric Research – identifying trends leading to improving treatment outcomes

• Mobile Phones – researching the effects of mobile phone irradiation on the brain

• Stroke, brain haemorrhage and aneurysms – developing surgical treatments

• Parkinson’s Disease – slowing down the progression of this condition

Looking for cures, improved treatments and developing drugs which are progressing from the laboratory to clinical trials, resulting in better outcomes for patients and saving lives.

Established in 1963, based in Adelaide, South Australia and funding world-class neurosurgical research Australia wide.
