to produce distinctiveness in the quality, impact and collaborative nature of its research. By enhancing the connections between the research areas of neuroscience, pain, ageing, pharmacology, psychiatry and rehabilitation, we have created a distinct and impressive collaboration which will distinguish the institute from other research entities. This will support growth within the Kolling, while also strengthening external partnerships. The research strategy will see further collaboration with the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre and other researchers in the joint venture partnership to achieve common goals, leverage resources and boost impact.

This priority research area focuses on treatments for pain, psychiatry, cognitive function, dementia, Parkinson’s and mitochondrial diseases, along with ageing, frailty, pharmacology, spinal cord injury, head injury, brain cancer, trauma and genetics. These areas boast a high level of international connectivity, with excellent academic impact and citation rates. The groups demonstrate effective bench to bedside research pipelines, well developed community engagement and emerging levels of industry engagement. To raise the reputation of the Kolling in neuroscience and pain research, this priority research area will work
