Prevent, treat and cure disease

Your assistance will help researchers halt the neurodegenerative processes associated with dementia. Dementia is Australia's second leading cause of death after heart disease and stroke - to date there is no cure.

The World Health Organization has declared antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or superbugs, one of the greatest threats to human health. Your donation will allow our researchers to fast-track the discovery and development of new antibiotics to treat multi-drug resistant bacteria and redesign existing drugs to improve their effectiveness and help save lives.

Your donation will help our researchers investigate the underlying cell defects in polycystic kidney disease, and uncover the genetic factors behind kidney development to find new approaches to treat kidney disease, a devastating condition which affects 1.7 million Australians.

Give now

Your support will help fund vital research into how we can improve recovery following stroke. Stroke is Australia's third highest cause of death. 50,000 people will suffer a stroke each year, and there are nearly half a million stroke survivors in Australia living with physical and mental disabilities.

Give now

Your support will help research into causes and treatments for diseases affecting human blood coagulation. We will investigate a range of diseases such as stroke and toxins from bacteria, through to the usefulness of natural compounds as sources for new treatments for these diseases.

Brain cancer claims the lives of more young Australians than any other cancer. At the Institute of Molecular Bioscience (IMB) we have advanced the world's understanding of children's brain cancer and are now developing more effective, safer treatments to improve survival and quality of life. With your help, we can develop personalised treatments that specifically target each patients' tumour, giving them a better chance of beating the odds.

Give now

Further the School’s highest priorities in human disease, brain injury, heart and kidney issues and anti-inflammatory drugs and more.

Give now

Further UQ Centre for Clinical Research's (UQCCR) highest research priorities around vaccines, cancer, brain and mental health, infection and immunity and mothers, babies and lifelong health.

Give now

Further life-changing research in medicine that is saving and improving lives in Brisbane, Queensland, and around the globe.

Former Vice-Chancellor and President Emeritus Professor John Hay AC, led UQ through 12 transformative years from January 1996 to December 2007.

Give now

Help to further efforts to develop new and improved diagnostic technologies as well as treatment methods for a wide variety of life-threatening cancers.

Give now

Your contribution will support the development of preventive treatments and cures for debilitating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.

Endometriosis is suffered by at least 1 in 10 women, and is responsible for more than 40% of patients attending IVF clinics. Surgery is a short gap measure, not a cure, and unfortunately pain, infertility, incapacitation, and breakdown of relationships are a huge burden to patients, their families and our health systems.  IMB is leading the global race to understand the causes of endometriosis and will be turning its focus to the discovery of effective new treatments for endometriosis and chronic pain. Unfortunately endometriosis awareness is low, and research is underfunded, so community donations are vital to help us find effective treatments.

Brisbane Breast Bank was originally established by Professor Lakhani in 2005, with the aim of collecting a frozen tumour sample from every patient undergoing treatment at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.  Tissue banking of both tumour and healthy tissue enables collaborative, international research to further knowledge and provide women with better outcomes.

Dr Ray Steptoe and his team are developing novel approaches to allergy and asthma treatments using gene therapy - engineered cells that produce new blood cells, targeting specific immune cells, 'turning off' the allergic response.  The eventual goal is a single injected gene therapy, replacing short-term treatments that target allergy symptoms with varying degrees of effectiveness.

Give now

Your support will help advance imaging research to better understand and diagnose diseases and to monitor their response to treatment. CAI's research helps advance the diagnosis and treatment of important diseases such as cancer, dementia, epilepsy, arthritis and spinal cord injury.

Your support can help revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease. Researchers and clinicians at the Asia-Pacific Centre for Neuromodulation assist people suffering from Parkinson's disease, Dystonia, Essential Tremor and Tourette's syndrome through research, education and clinical care.

Give now

Collaborative research across Medicine and Engineering has the potential to revolutionise the detection and treatment of skin cancer, saving lives and cutting treatment costs.

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a group of related brain disorders with an average life expectancy of only 2-3 years after diagnosis. Your support will continue vital research into motor neurone disease.

Give now

Your support can help fund the work of neuroscientists so they can understand what causes Motor Neurone Disease (MND), how it affects the brain and finance the development of pharmaceutical therapies. Motor Neurone Disease results from the steady but inexorable loss of nerve cells that control muscle movement and function.

One in five Australians lives with chronic pain, impacting their relationships and ability to work. Pain also has a big impact on the economy, costing Australia $34 billion per year, more than the collective cost of treating cancer, stroke and diabetes. Your donation will assist researchers to discover and develop new molecules for treating pain in humans, with a particular focus on pain that is difficult to manage, such as burns, neuropathic, diabetic, chemotherapy and cancer pain.

Give now

Inflammation protects and heals our bodies, but if it is turned on at the wrong time, can cause or contribute to diseases including diabetes, asthma, arthritis, sepsis, stroke, Alzheimer's, cancer, IBD and liver disease. Your donation will aid our researchers in discovering the molecular and cellular processes underlying inflammation and using this knowledge to develop new drugs or repurpose existing drugs to prevent and treat inflammatory diseases.
