A new medication which can be applied to the skin could help prevent organ transplant recipients from developing harmful skin cancers.

"To properly fight this terrible disease, we’ve engineered a vaccine candidate based on a platform technology that uses an Australian insect virus called Binjari virus," UQ PhD candidate Jovin Choo said.

A discovery by The University of Queensland researchers could change the way brain injury and traumas are treated in the future.

Deep brain stimulation is providing a fresh start for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patients.

Scientists have visualised and investigated a key molecular pathway that could one day help treat inflammation, diabetes, cancer, infectious diseases and potentially even COVID-19.

Researchers at UQ’s Centre for Superbug Solutions believe they may have found a new class of antibiotics effective against drug-resistant bacteria – all from being asked to help characterise an acne cream.

The rare Queensland lungfish, often called a living fossil, is helping Queensland Brain Institute researchers challenge our scientific understanding of brain evolution.

Deep brain stimulation has been found to help people with severe obsessive compulsive disorder that has not responded to other treatment, in a clinical trial led by UQ researchers.

A UQ researcher said 99 per cent of vaccinated participants in the study produced a neutralising immune response.

Queensland Brain Institute researchers have discovered a new ‘seeding’ process in brain cells that could be a cause of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
