Huntington's Disease Research Group

The Huntington’s Disease Research team within the ECU Melanoma Research Group is a multidisciplinary team whose research is centred around investigating novel environmental enrichment treatment modalities and the development of prognostic and diagnostic assessments within the Huntington’s disease (HD) population.

Aims

  • To investigate the therapeutic potential of environmental enrichment treatment modalities in impacting HD progression via clinical, functional, imaging, physiological and biochemical biomarkers;
  • Assess the therapeutic effectiveness of environmental enrichment in improving the quality of life for HD individuals; and
  • Design simple, inexpensive, HD-sensitive biomarkers capable of assessing HD symptomatic progression.
