Forging a new understanding of iron in neurodegenerative disease.

利用通用的模型系统，C.这项提案将定义大脑的正常功能如何随着年龄的增长而被破坏，并被神经退行性疾病劫持，导致痴呆症。耦合专门的X射线成像只有在澳大利亚同步加速器与墨尔本大学的研究卓越，该奖学金将提供正常老化，以及如何这涉及到神经退行性疾病的发展和进展的更好的理解。

Using the versatile model system, C. elegans, this proposal will define how normal functions of the brain become corrupted with age and hijacked by neurodegenerative diseases to cause dementia. Coupling specialised X-ray imaging only available at the Australian Synchrotron with the research excellence of the University of Melbourne, this Fellowship will provide a better understanding of normal ageing and how this relates to the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
