UWA awarded $6 million for groundbreaking medical research
A medical trial to improve diagnosis in cancers with low survival rates and a project to investigate the genetic causes of neurological disorders in older patients are two research projects at The University of Western Australia to be awarded $6 million in Federal Government funding.
The projects, announced by Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt, are funded through the Medical Research Future Fund.
Lead investigator Professor Nigel Laing AO, from UWA and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and his team, will receive $3 million to investigate the genetic causes of neurological disorders including ataxias, where patients lack muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements, such as speaking, eye movement, swallowing or walking.
