Research Groups

Genetics and Epigenomics Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Epidemiology

The Epidemiology group is interested in studying the patterns, causes and effects of neurocognitive disorders, in particular dementia, in elderly populations in Australia and internationally. Read more about the Epidemiology Group.

Genetics and Epigenomics Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Genomics and Epigenomics

The Genetics and Epigenomics group has grown out of our interest in the genetics of brain ageing and age-related disease. Heritability studies suggest that there is a genetic component to most age-related traits. Read more about the Genomics and Epigenomics Group.

 

Neuroimaging Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Neuroimaging

The Neuroimaging Laboratory (NiL) was established in 1991 in response to a need for the assessment of brain images, in order to improve our understanding of the brain in health and disease. Read more about the Neuroimaging Group.

Neuropsychiatry Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Neuropsychiatry

The Neuropsychiatry Group is a collaborative group composed of staff from CHeBA and the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI). Read more about the Neuropsychiatry Group.

 

Neuropsychology Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Neuropsychology

The Neuropsychology Group investigates cognitive changes associated with normal ageing and late-life disorders of cognition, to better understand the risk and preventive factors for age-related neurocognitive disorders. Read more about the Neuropsychology Group.

Omics and Neurobiology of Ageing Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Risk Factors

The Risk Factors Group is interested in understanding and reducing the cognitive impacts of modifiable risk factors for dementia across the lifespan. Read more about the Risk Factors Group.

 

Neuroimaging Research Group at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing

Molecular Biomarkers

The Molecular Biomarkers Group has a focus on identifying blood biomarkers and understanding mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases of ageing, particularly the dementias, using techniques such as proteomics, metabolomics and mass spectrometry.
