Projects in Progress

The Mental Health Research Institute (MHRI) is dedicated to improving the lives of one in five Australians who experience a mental illness. Our research teams investigate the causes of illnesses including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. We aim to find better ways to diagnose and treat such illnesses, and ultimately, to discover preventions or cures.
