Research of the brain is rapidly gaining momentum as our understanding of the body's most elusive organ evolves. Internationally, populations are ageing and there is a sense of urgency to find causes, treatments and cures for conditions affecting the brain and mind. Our scientists are seeking ways to help people live without suffering and to improve health on a global scale.

The Florey provides scientists and students with world-class facilities and the opportunity to improve lives. We continue to be a world leader in neuroscience and welcome interest from those who might help us in our quest.

State and Federal Governments, major philanthropic foundations and many generous private benefactors have recognised the importance of neuroscience as the final frontier in medical research.
