Thank You
During 2020, the pace of potential lifesaving research has continued at the Florey in the face of trying circumstances. Contributions by generous benefactors provide essential support, alongside government grants. Backing from donors, corporations, foundations and organisations act as a catalyst for our scientists, funding new ideas and innovations as they emerge - driving our ability to chase discoveries and to improve lives. We are grateful for the generous investment from all of our supporters in our relentless pursuit to improve the prevention, detection and treatment of diseases and disorders of the brain and mind.
