Wesley Research Institute neurology research includes investigation for the onset of diseases, pathology assessments, new therapies, development of predictors & classifiers, and treatments for diseases such as Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinsons Disease, and other conditions.

Neurology Research Objectives

Fast and accurate diagnosis

Our Parkinson’s disease research will provide new opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment by using biomarkers that drive disease progression and neuropathy.

Improve understanding

A number of our neurology research studies are aiming to better predict disease progression and investigate the causes for onset of diseases such as Motor neurone disease.

Increase survival and quality of Life

Some of our research studies are investigating new treatments, which will hopefully provide patients with symptomatic relief, improve quality of life, extend survival time and slow disease progression.

New Technology

The Neuro COVID-19 study uses spatial biology which is an extremely advanced imaging and genomics to create digital pathology assessments.

Neurology Clinical Trials

ARODUX

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics of an investigational drug, ARO-DUX4 in adults with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Type 1.

Vertex

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigation study drug compared to a placebo in adults with Myotonic Dystrophy (DM1).
