The Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) is the flagship neuroscience brain institute at The University of Queensland (UQ) and a world-leader in brain research, devoted to a fundamental understanding of how the brain works.

Established in 2003, when Philanthropist Chuck Feeney, the Queensland Government and UQ joined forces to create a neuroscience research centre of excellence, QBI has grown from 20 research staff to an internationally renowned team of more than 300 staff and student. QBI scientists enjoy a global reputation for undertaking outstanding research in brain related disorders, neuroscience, and neurodegeneration.

Why work with us

In the past two decades, important advances in fundamental neuroscience have been made and these findings are being applied to the development of new therapeutic approaches to prevent and/or restore loss of function in disease of the nervous system, such as Alzheimer's and other dementias, stroke, motor neurone disease, concussion, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression.

QBI is progressing several clinical human trials: a trial of a drug to slow MND progression and a non-invasive ultrasound treatment to improve memory functions in people living with dementia.
