Murdoch Childrens Research Institute is the pre-eminent
child health research institute in Australia, and is recognised globally for its
child health discoveries.
Researchers at the Institute work side-by-side with doctors and nurses from our campus partners The Royal Childrens Hospital and the University of Melbournes Department of Paediatrics. This provides our researchers with much greater interaction with patients for research and gives us the ability to more quickly translate research discoveries into practical treatments for children.
The team of includes 1500 researchers focusing on combating emerging conditions affecting
child health like allergy,
diabetes and obesity, as well as finding answers to unsolved problems like
cancer and genetic conditions. They bring together large multi-disciplinary teams to work on problems together.
