Our cancer research helps to accelerate scientific discoveries into cures. The expertise of our internationally recognised clinicians, researchers and educators advances medicine, transforming treatment options and survival rates for cancer patients.

Cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndromes and diseases are a major cause of death and disability in Australia. Our research helps to better understand, detect and prevent these conditions.

Our researchers and clinicians lead world-class collaborative research networks to understand, prevent and treat complex infections and conditions. We develop evidence-based interventions which translate clinical practice into positive patient outcomes.

Innovation and clinical research supports the translation of effective academic and clinical research into real world benefits for human health. We enable and support the continued evolution of the School of Clinical Medicine as an international powerhouse of medical education, clinical research and innovation.

We prevent, treat, cure and care for a broad range of neurological, mental health and addiction disorders. Our strength lies in building effective networks of collaborative research and translating our research outcomes into real-world solutions that improve the quality of life for patients.

Our researchers and clinicians contribute nationally and internationally through novel and innovative discoveries and interventions in women’s health and paediatrics and child health with the goal of improving health outcomes for women, babies and children.
