Monash Epworth Rehabilitation Research Centre
The MERRC is jointly established with the Epworth hospital. It has a world-wide reputation for clinically relevant research examining outcomes and the impact of rehabilitation following trauma. Directed by internationally recognised Jennie Ponsford, the MERRC has a particular focus on the psychiatric, neuropsychological and psychosocial rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury and orthopaedic injury, with a view to reducing long-term disability.
Developmental Neuroscience and Genetics Disorders Laboratory
This newly established developmental neurogenetics lab will focus on genetic disorders and their molecular-brain-cognitive pathways across the lifespan. Embracing a truly interdisciplinary and developmental approach to understanding disorder across multiple levels of analysis, researchers will have access to cutting-edge technologies designed to tease apart subtle pathways of cognitive function and dysfunction in typical and atypical populations e.g. fragile x syndrome, autism etc.
