Congratulations to Associate Professor Louise Bicknell

Congratulations to Associate Professor Louise Bicknell who has been awarded a $941,000 Marsden Fund grant for her exciting genetics research. She’ll investigate ORC3, a novel disease gene with a moonlighting role in brain development. Louise credits funding from the Neurological Foundation for helping build her genetics research programme in New Zealand.

“The invaluable support from the Foundation has helped cement my reputation in human disease genetics research, furthering international collaborations and a strong reputation for delivering impactful outcomes with research funding – two attributes important in obtaining this Marsden funding.” – Louise Bicknell
