All CHeBA projects
Australian Dementia Network (ADNeT)
We're a network of Australia鈥檚 leading researchers, clinicians and consumers working together on dementia prevention, treatment and care.
ADNeT brings together 25 researchers across 15 Australian institutions, including the University of Melbourne, 黑料网大事记 Sydney鈥檚 Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA), Monash University, Austin Health, Edith Cowan University, CSIRO, Flinders University, Macquarie University, NeuRA, QIMR Berghofer, SAHMRI, University of Newcastle, University of Sydney, University of Tasmania and the University of Queensland. These researchers and institutions are working on three key initiatives:
- The establishment of a national clinical quality registry for dementia.
- The development of unified guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of neurocognitive disorders and the creation of a network of memory clinics.
- The development of effective therapies for the prevention and treatment of dementia through improved patient screening and trial participation.

Current
"The researchers at CHeBA are excited to be part of this important national network. The objectives of ADNeT align well with those of CHeBA, viz. improving the timely diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders, charting the epidemiology of dementia with greater accuracy and expediting the development of novel treatments.聽CHeBA is closely involved in all three initiatives of ADNeT, with three of ADNeT鈥檚 chief investigators being based in CHeBA."
