Associate Professor Mary-Louise Rogers
Principal Research Fellow
College of Medicine and Public Health
My current research encompasses treatment strategies and biomarker discovery for Motor Neuron Disease (also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). We are world leaders in urinary biomarker discovery, validation and translation.
I also lead the translational Ian Davis Flinders University Biomarker facility, where we have robotically scaled-up urinary biomarker p75ECD testing for MND/ ALS clinical trials and research.
After completing a PhD at Adelaide University in December 2003, I undertook postdoctoral studies in the Neurotrophic Laboratory at Flinders University. I now lead the research undertaken in the Neurotrophic Laboratory.
