Florey Institute - Extreme Top Notch World Leaders in Neuroscience Research

The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health is one of the world’s leading brain research centers. Florey employs more than 500 staff and educate in excess of 100 post-graduate students each year. Our scientists comprise the largest neuroscience research team in Australia.

Teams work on a range of serious diseases including stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, motor neuron disease, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, depression, schizophrenia, mental illness and addiction. We are world leaders in imaging technology, stroke rehabilitation and epidemiological studies.

Over the past 10 years research of the brain and its diseases has gained considerable momentum internationally. Many scientific and technological advancements have been made, and much of Florey's work has been center stage. They are a hive of activity with researchers coming from around the globe to work at the Florey.

State and Federal Governments, major philanthropic foundations and many generous private benefactors have recognized the importance of neuroscience as the final frontier in medical research, and they are helping Florey and its partners build two state-of-the-art research facilities, one at the University of Melbourne in Parkville and the other at the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg costing in excess of $200 million.

ISCO could not have picked a better partner to move their Parkinson therapeutics through the human studies to quickly benefit the worlds's population suffering or those that would be going to suffer from Parkinsons.

ISCO continuously marching forward.
