Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute

About Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute

Our Mission is to reduce death and disability from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and related conditions through research, education and health care delivery. We are an independent, Australian-based research institute, recognised internationally for its contributions to medical science. The Baker Institute is one of the few institutes in the world where the work of staff spans benchtop to bedside and where research is dedicated to tackling the deadly trio of diseases: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. The Institute’s science strategy reflects the breadth of the areas that we work across in order to enhance the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of chronic disease.
