The Queensland Government has invested $5 million in a Griffith University pre-clinical trial to prove that a “nerve bridge” across a damaged spinal cord may be the answer to otherwise permanent paralysis. In a science and health collaboration, the project, led by Dr James St John, will be conducted across two of the university’s leading […]

Alan Mackay-Sim is a world-renowned trailblazer in cell transplantation, paving the way for innovative research on repairing damaged spinal cords to return the gift of movement to paralysed people.

A Griffith University senior postdoctoral research fellow is among five talented Australian researchers who have been recognised for their inventive work by theBupa Health Foundation. Dr Johana Paola Tello Velasquez, of the Eskitis Institute for Drug Discovery, has been awarded $5000 as part of Bupa’s annual Emerging Health Researcher Awards. The Foundation’s purpose is to […]

The first real cure for spinal injury is closer at Griffith University because of a donation by the PerryCross Spinal Research Foundation. The foundation has just committed $267,000 towards the first year of funding of a $700,000 humanclinical trial at Griffith’s Eskitis Institute for Drug Discovery. There are about 12,000 recorded cases of spinal cord […]

A deadly bacteria that can be picked up by a simple sniff can travel to the brain and spinal cord in just 24 hours, a new Griffith University and Bond University study has found.

Researchers at Griffith's Eskitis Institute for Drug Discovery are taking spinal cord therapy into a new dimension, thanks to a novel technique for cell growth

Research into a cure for spinal cord injury has received a boost with Mr Perry Cross donating a further $75,000 to the Eskitis Institute for Drug Discovery
