Associate Professor Turner is the NRF Director of Neurosurgical Research, Head of the Translational Neuropathology Laboratory and Head of the Discipline of Anantomy and Pathology in the Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide. Her research is focused on improving the translation of novel treatments from laboratory studies into the clinic for conditions such as stroke and traumatic brain injury, through the use of appropriate per-clinical models. Her research is targeted at elucidating the mechanisms of blood-brain barrier breakdown, development of cerebral oedema and neuronal injury following acute injuries to the brain to reduce disability and improve outcomes.

A/Prof Turner is actively involved in Science communication and community engagement through her involvement in events such as Kids Navigate Neuroscience (Science Week), Children's University and the Adelaide Compass Program at the University of Adelaide. A/Prof Turner has a long-standing affiliation with the Neurosurgical Research Foundation which raises funds for research into neurological conditions in South Australian laboratories.

A/Prof Turner teaches into the Health and Medical Sciences, Nursing and Medicine programs on the normal structure and function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems as well as pathology of the nervous and cardiovasular systems. A/Prof Turner is course coordinator for the following courses: Essentials of Neuroscience (HLTH SC 1001) and Neurological Diseases (PATHOL 3200).

A/Prof Turner is the NRF Director of Neurosurgical Research, Head of the Translational Neuropathology laboratory and a research/teaching academic within the School of Biomedicine (Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences) at the University of Adelaide. From 2008 to 2010 Renée worked in the world leading laboratory of Prof. Frank Sharp in the M.I.N.D Institute at the University of California at Davis before returning to the University of Adelaide in 2010 as an NHMRC CJ Martin Research Fellow, to establish her laboratory. Since this time she has established a reputation as a specialist in stroke science and clinically-relevant models of stroke.

Current projects are interest include:

Blood-brain barrier alterations in healthy ageing and disease.
The role of neuroinflammation in secondary neurodegeneration (SND) following stroke.
Development and screening of novel diagnostic/monitoring technologies for stroke and brain injury.

Now recruiting for the following projects:

SPRINTS: Treatment strategies targeting reperfusion injury and neuroinflammation following stroke.
The role of secondary neurodegeneration (SND) in long-term outcomes following stroke.
Amyloid precursor protein: can we use the brains' own protective mechansisms to treat stroke?
