Biography
Professor Perry Bartlett FAA was appointed Foundation Chair in Molecular Neuroscience at The University of Queensland in August 2002, and as Director of the Queensland Brain Institute and Australian Research Council Federation Fellow in 2003.

He previously headed the neurobiology division of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, where his group was the first to identify a neuronal precursor in the adult brain, leading to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the brain and underpinning the burgeoning field of neuroregeneration.

In Queensland, Professor Bartlett is continuing his research into how the production of new neurons influences the function of the adult brain - such as how memory and learning, and neurogensis, are regulated. Finding the mechanisms that regulate these processes is the primary focus of QBI and will lead to a new generation of therapeutics to treat the avalanche of neurological and mental illnesses.
