Rate My Professor Jenny Gunnersen

Gunnersen has obtained significant funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), including Project Grant 1099930 (2016-2018, $685,811; CIA) for a potential analgesic target in neuropathic pain; Project Grant 1058672 (2014-2016, $677,527; CIA) on secondary effects of BACE1 inhibition for Alzheimer’s disease; Project Grant 1008046 (2011-2013, $596,072; CIA) on Sez6 and neuronal calcium signalling in synapse development; Project Grant 1008787 (2011-2013, $561,732; CIA) on Ndfip1 in neuronal development; and earlier grants such as 566620 (2009-2011, CIB) on interneuron migration mechanisms and 454462 (2007-2009, CIA) on Sez6 signalling in the neocortex. Notable publications encompass Gunnersen et al. (2007) 'Sez-6 proteins influence multiple stages of cortical interneuron development' in Neuron; Hammond et al. (2014) 'Lack of the synaptic protein interaction partner Sez6 impairs motor functions, short-term memory and hippocampal long-term potentiation' in Cerebral Cortex; Butler et al. (2015) in Learning & Memory; Simon et al. (2015) in Acta Neuropathologica; and Howitt et al. (2015) in Journal of Molecular Cell Biology. Her work advances insights into neuronal connectivity, learning, memory, and therapeutic targets for cognitive and neurological disorders.
