Our aim is to develop therapies to treat acquired brain injury and spinal cord injury
The Clem Jones Centre for Neurobiology and Stem Cell Research was established in 2016 at Griffith University. Based at the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery, our laboratories are equipped to allow cutting-edge research ranging from high-throughput drug screening to complex three-dimensional assays.
The work of the Centre is made possible with funding from the Clem Jones Foundation and the Queensland Government. The Clem Jones Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Clem Jones Group. The trustees are dedicated to benefiting the community through ongoing commitments to the wishes and philosophies of the late Dr Clem Jones AO.
