Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) is an independent, non-profit medical research institute based in Sydney, Australia. Established in 1991, it focuses on improving the lives of individuals affected by brain and nervous system disorders through translational and clinical research[1].
History and Overview
NeuRA operates as a multidisciplinary hub with over 400 researchers specializing in neurodegeneration, mental health, and translational neuroscience[1]. Its research spans conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, chronic pain, and injury prevention[1][5]. The institute collaborates with entities like the University of New South Wales, the Black Dog Institute, and the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District[1].
Research and Affiliations
The organization’s work targets three primary domains:
- Neurodegeneration: Investigating Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and related dementias[1][5].
- Mental health: Researching psychiatric and developmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder[5].
- Translational neuroscience: Developing interventions for falls prevention, nerve damage, and chronic pain[1][4].
NeuRA emphasizes research quality, prioritizing rigorous methodologies and reproducibility[2]. It engages in partnerships to enhance scientific collaboration and resource sharing[2].
Governance and Leadership
The institute is directed by Professor Matthew Kiernan AM[1]. Its governance includes boards overseeing strategic and operational objectives, with a focus on equity and inclusion principles, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities[2]. NeuRA’s funding derives from grants, philanthropic contributions, and partnerships with health organizations[1][4].
Impact
By integrating clinical and laboratory research, NeuRA aims to bridge gaps between scientific discovery and patient care, seeking to prevent, treat, and cure neurological and mental health conditions[4][5]. Its facilities and expertise support advancements in diagnostics, therapeutics, and public health strategies[3].

NeuRA’s Dr Hannah Timmins has received a philanthropic grant from Hillcrest Foundation for her COMPASS Motor Neurone Disease project. The grant was awarded for her project, “Compass: Comprehensive Multimodal Phenotyping to Advance Monitoring, Treating and Understanding of Motor Neurone Disease”. Dr Timmins’ project will focus on enhancing diagnosis and monitoring by integrating clinical, neurophysiological and imaging tools to provide comprehensive patient phenotyping. “The goal of the COMPASS project is to improve disease monitoring, refine treatment plans and inform clinical trials,” said Dr Timmins, who is a NeuRA Research Scientist and Conjoint Lecturer in the School of Clinical Medicine at UNSW Medicine and Health. “MND is a relentless and complex neurodegenerative disease. There is significant variability in symptom presentation, disease progression and response treatment, which impacts both clinical management and treatment development. “Despite advancements, accurately phenotyping MND patients remains difficult, resulting in delayed diagnoses, treatment and clinical trials enrolment.” The 12-month project will combine clinical exams, functional scales, cognitive testing, and brain imaging, aiming to produce precise insights into MND progression. “The project seeks to contribute to comprehensive datasets from across our existing national networks that could support artificial intelligence (AI) models to predict patient outcomes, provide biomarkers to inform treatment development and offer precision medicine approaches,” Dr Timmins said.
