$1.3M grant to UoW’s Yerbury Lab advances early MND detection and causes research, honoring founder Prof. Justin Yerbury.
The University of Wollongong’s Yerbury Lab received $1.3 million from Fight MND to advance research on motor neurone disease, a fatal disorder affecting muscle-controlling nerves.
Dr. Dezerae Cox leads a project developing molecular tools for early detection of MND, potentially years before symptoms appear, while Dr. Luke McAlary investigates environmental triggers like the herbicide atrazine and the role of the TDP-43 protein.
The funding honors Professor Justin Yerbury, who died from MND in 2023.
Combined with prior support, the lab now has nearly $5.5 million from Fight MND to drive efforts toward understanding and preventing the disease.
