At The Florey, we advance research to find cures and treatments to help people who live with complex neurological and mental health conditions.
On Wednesday 22 May 2024 at the Ian Potter Auditorium, The Florey launched 'Life-changing discoveries', our first Impact Report.
We had the opportunity to hear real and powerful stories from people with lived experience of these conditions, on how their lives have been transformed by the outcomes of our research.
We heard directly from families and individuals living with motor neurone disease, epilepsy and other complex illnesses, joined by leading scientists who have dedicated their work into studying and tackling these conditions.
