Dementia research is vital

Bob died of dementia at 53

Bob Rushton had served Australia with pride in the Army. He had arranged complex medical evacuation of critically ill people from around the world. He loved camping, his mates and our great outdoors. He was the salt of the earth.

Most of all, Bob loved his family – his wife, Lisa; his children, Stephanie, Amy and Poppy; and then later, his two grandsons.

The day he visited our research centre, aged only 48, it was clear that all of this was being rapidly stolen from him.

Bob later died of dementia. He was 53.

For the past 30 years, unraveling the mysteries of the brain and nervous system has been our life’s work.

Our discoveries have led us to open new avenues for treatment for people living with schizophrenia and discover new and previously uncharted parts of the human brain.
