Research led by the University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Centre has found a protein abnormality linked to brain cell loss in people with Parkinson's disease that is also present in some inherited forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The University of Sydney officially launched more than 100 applied medical science projects at the Westmead precinct and an applied medical sciences major, a new study option taught entirely at Westmead, commencing in 2018.
Three University of Sydney academics are among 21 leading scientists to be elected to the Australian Academy of Science this year.
