Zane Stromberga (Bond University) took the audience at the FameLab Australia 2018 National Final on a journey of discovery into the world linking allergy drugs and bladder diseases.

Around 17% of the world population suffers from overactive bladder, and yet the underlying causes of this disease are poorly understood. The current pharmaceutical treatments present many side effects. Zane’s research aims to find novel pharmaceutical treatments for bladder dysfunction that would enhance the quality of life for people suffering from this debilitating condition.
