Ashley I. Bush is affiliated with the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Australia. Their research primarily falls within the broad field of Medicine, with detailed work in subfields including Physiology, Molecular Biology, Nutrition and Dietetics, Neurology, and Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine.

The scientist has contributed extensively to multiple research topics. These include:

  • Alzheimer's disease research and treatments
  • Trace Elements in Health
  • Ferroptosis and cancer prognosis
  • Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research
  • Parkinson's Disease Mechanisms and Treatments
  • Drug Transport and Resistance Mechanisms
  • Iron Metabolism and Disorders

Some of their recent published papers are:

  • Connecting copper and cancer: from transition metal signalling to metalloplasia (2021), published in Nature reviews. Cancer
  • The essential elements of Alzheimer's disease (2020), published in Journal of Biological Chemistry
  • Risk prediction of late-onset Alzheimer's disease implies an oligogenic architecture (2020), published in Nature Communications
  • Thrombin induces ACSL4-dependent ferroptosis during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (2022), published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
  • Blood-brain barrier-penetrating siRNA nanomedicine for Alzheimer's disease therapy (2020), published in Science Advances

They frequently publish in several venues, with notable numbers of publications in:
