The Quokka Story…A World-Shattering Discovery!
Perron Institute owes its origins to the humble Rottnest Island quokka and Emeritus Professor Byron Kakulas’ discovery he could regenerate their muscle.
His research on the quokka in the 1960s reversed prevailing dogma about muscle regeneration and muscle diseases.
