Research has always been an important part of paediatric neurology in Australia and New Zealand. Australian and New Zealand paediatric neurologists have made many important contributions to the field, including descriptions of new disorders, contributions to development of new treatments for epilepsy syndromes and nerve and muscle disorders of childhood, and identification of genes involved in childhood seizure disorders, muscular dystrophies, neuropathies and movement disorders. Almost all paediatric neurologists in Australia and New Zealand belong to the ANZCNS. Many are actively involved in clinical or laboratory research in addition to their clinical practice in the management of neurological illnesses.
Donations to the ANZCNS Research Fund will be used to assist research into specific aspects of paediatric neurology and to further collaborative research efforts within Australia. Directed donations can be given to advance clinical or laboratory research in subspeciality areas of paediatric neurology.
Enquiries regarding donations to the ANZCNS Research Fund should be directed to the Donations Office »
