The Centre's research explains, at a biochemical, molecular, behavioural, electrophysiological, histological and systems level, how ageing dementia causes neurodegeneration and decline of cognitive function. This research is complemented by studies into physiological ageing. A major aim of the Centre is the development of therapeutic interventions to delay the onset, prevent and even cure dementia in patients, as well as new drugs and better methods to deliver them to the brain. Another aim is the development of biomarkers to diagnose dementia earlier, more cheaply, and with higher sensitivity and specificity, and to monitor therapeutic interventions.The Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research focusses on research into the prevention and treatment of dementia.Health and medical; Life sciences; Social sciences - Prevention and treatment of dementia - Neural regeneration - Super-resolution microscopy - Cell neurochemistry - Proteomics and intermolecular interactions - Model and transgenic organisms - Gene editing - Systems biology - Transcriptomics Lipidomics - Physical Containment Class 2 (PC2) laboratories - Vivarium and animal behaviour facility - Tissue culture facility - Two-photon microscopy facility - Electrophysiology rigs - Ultrasound equipment - Operant boxes 20-100 research staffQBI; UQ - University Research CentreClem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research-27.499521153.011997

From economic and educational deprivation to disease, loss of culture and the impacts of climate change, the social, economic and environmental challenges facing the tropical zones of the world are immense. The Institute’s location in tropical North Queensland and close proximity to neighbouring countries in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, places it at the epicentre of economic, environmental and cultural change. In this most dynamic of regions, the Institute is committed to understanding and informing the processes of transformation that will shape communities’ and environments’ future wellbeing. Bringing together the expertise and intellectual resources of more than 20 disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, The Cairns Institute is a robust and vibrant hub of research, capacity building and public debate in the tropics, for the tropics.The Institute is committed to understanding and informing the critical processes of transformation that will shape the future wellbeing of tropical communities and environmentsEnvironment and nature; Food and agriculture; Social sciences; Tropical - Governance and political innovation - Education and capacity building - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander futures - Language and culture - Regional economic development - Social justice and community wellbeing - Sustainable international development - Tropical planning, resource development and design Upto 20 research staffJCU - University Research Centre The Cairns Institute-16.8187772145.6883408
