Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke & Babies’ Brain Bleeds Among Neuro Conditions Receiving New Research FundingNew Zealand’s neuroscience community has just received a $3.4 million injection from the Neurological Foundation for research into a broad range of neurological conditions. The conditions being researched include dementia, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), premature babies’ brain bleeds, pain & cognition, and post-surgery delirium. Project Grant – Brain injury at birth$127,849Deferoxamine and IGF-1 for treating preterm intraventricular haemorrhageDr Simerdeep Dhillon, University of AucklandThis project focuses on brain injury caused by bleeding in the brains of premature babies. Simerdeep has also been awarded a Senior Research Fellowship. In this project, brain cells will be grown from the skin cells of patients to test if this new drug can protect brain cells in Huntington’s.
