Peter Panegyres

Peter Panegyres serves as a Clinical Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the UWA Medical School, The University of Western Australia. Based at the Perth campus (M570, 35 Stirling Highway), he maintains an active research profile with 44 publications and a Scopus h-index of 15. His clinical and academic work focuses on neurodegenerative conditions within the medical field.

His primary research interests center on neurodegenerative disorders, with specialized expertise in Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, and Spinocerebellar Ataxia. Panegyres investigates genetic mechanisms including trinucleotide repeat expansions and amyloid protein pathology, while also exploring therapeutic interventions such as medicinal cannabis for symptom management. His work integrates clinical neurology with molecular approaches to address complex neurological conditions.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent output in high-impact journals, with notable 2025 research on probability modeling in neurodegeneration and 2024 studies on Whipple's disease neuropsychiatry and ELOVL4-associated ataxia. His work shows strong emphasis on genetic factors, neuroimaging techniques like PET scanning, and clinical translation of therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative conditions.
