Neurodegenerative diseases of aging such as Alzheimer's Disease are associated with oxidative and free radical-induced damage to DNA, proteins, and energy metabolism in the CNS, Of particular interest are diagnostic markers of this damage and the role of anti-oxidants, radical scavengers and metal chelators in attenuating the damage. Collaborative work with neuroscientists at St Vincent's and Prince of Wales Hospitals and Monash University is investigating Alzheimer's and other demeting diseases, Other collaborations with neuroscientists in the UK is investigating malaria-induced brain dysfunction.
