ProfessorGreg Sutherland

My research group, Sydney Brainomics is a multi-disciplinary group that brings together neuropathology, molecular biology and bioinformatics to study neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD). Sydney Brainomics combines spatial and molecular data from human postmortem brain tissue to improve our understanding of why certain individuals get these diseases and how to cure them. We are also involved in international and national collaborative teams that utilise data science, machine learning, neuroimaging, patient-derived stem cells and transgenic animal models towards these goals. We have current collaborations with researchers at Brown University, Ohio State University, University of North Carolina, Indiana University, Korea Brain Bank Institute, and the University of Auckland. I am also the Leader of the 'Neurobiology' research node at the Charles Perkins Centre that aims to understand the bidirectional relationships between brains diseases like AD and systemic chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity using the expertise at the Charles Perkins Centre and beyond.
