More information
Dr Trevor Dinning founded the Neurosurgical Research Foundation in 1963. The object of the Foundation is directed primarily towards research into the cause, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases or injuries or malfunctions of the brain, spine and the nervous system. Australia is well renowned as a force in neurosurgical research. Without a strong university presence, neurosurgical research in Australia will falter. Adelaide has the advantage of being well established. Clinical neurosurgical services are also predominantly located in one institution, the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH), and other neuroscientists are on campus or immediately adjacent. This concentrates experience and opens opportunities for non-academic neurosurgeons to have an involvement in research.
