What began in 1998 as a bold vision to improve community wellbeing in the Hunter Region of NSW has today evolved into a world-class institute with 1600 medical researchers, students, and support staff striving to prevent, treat and defeat a multitude of serious illnesses. Over 25 years later the health and wellbeing of the community remain at the heart of HMRI.
Delivering patient-focused translational research is their major goal, which means seed funding start-up studies, supporting larger-scale research projects whilst fostering a flow of information and innovation back and forth between scientists, clinicians and public health professionals. Attracting top health and medical specialists and collaborating with other leading institutes and industries helps to fast-track the provision of new and better health solutions.
