Diseases of the brain and mind are the most common diseases in the western world; being even more prevalent than cardiac or malignant disease. With Australia's aging demographic, diseases of the brain and mind will continue to impact on our productivity in the workplace, our quality of life, and the ability of the medicare and private health care systems to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for older Australians. The research proposed here will enable us to find solutions to this serious problem by building on Australia's strong track record in nanotechnology and biotechnology research, and help towards new and effective treatments.

大脑和精神疾病是西方世界最常见的疾病，甚至比心脏病或恶性疾病更普遍。随着澳大利亚人口老龄化，大脑和精神疾病将继续影响我们在工作场所的生产力、我们的生活质量，以及联邦医疗保险和私人医疗保健系统满足日益增长的对澳大利亚老年人的需求的能力。 这里提出的研究将使我们能够在澳大利亚在纳米技术和生物技术研究方面的良好记录的基础上找到解决这一严重问题的办法，并有助于实现新的有效治疗方法。
