Making headlines
Telling you about the Florey's scientific discoveries gets us out of bed in the morning.
Whether it's news from the lab bench or from a mobile stroke unit, a hospital bed or an MRI machine, we want to share the story.
There are several ways you can keep up to date with our work. Subscribe to Brain Matters which is published three times a year as a print magazine or as an e-newsletter. Come to one of our public lectures and if you can't make it to Parkville in Melbourne, watch it on the Florey YouTube channel.
Journalists wanting to interview our researchers are invited to contact the press office. We also have some stunning media resources available for you to use, with appropriate credit.
