Every year, MND Research Australia awards PhD scholarship top-up grants to promising early career researchers in the field of motor neurone disease. These grants help to encourage these researchers to focus their talents on developing cures, treatments and better models of care for people living with motor neurone disease. 

For 2023, MND Research Australia is delighted to announce three PhD scholarship top-up recipients. A huge congratulations to: 

• Elise Kellett, Queensland Brain Institute, University of Queensland

• Kathryn Maskell, University of Tasmania

• Aida Viden, University of Melbourne
