About Hudson Institute of Medical Research

The Hudson Institute is a premier Australian discovery and translation medical research institute. By unravelling the biology underlying disease the Institute will use this information for transformative and innovative solutions to major health problems. The Hudson Institute has diverse strengths and research excellence encompassing paediatric and perinatal medicine, cancers, infectious and inflammatory diseases, endocrinology and reproductive health. Progressing our research requires a focused and directed strategy that incorporates thematic and programmatic excellence across the Institute. The Institute Centres will coordinate their research activity to take advantage of novel approaches and new models of disease. Enabling technologies will be shared and new platforms developed to meet new research challenges. As the major research partner at the Monash Health Translation Precinct (MHTP) the Institute will underpin the research agenda of the precinct and drive research solutions to disease, leading to better health outcomes. Sophisticated cutting edge technologies co-located with clinical and laboratory research activities in the Translational Research Facility of the MHTP will enable the rapid translation of breakthrough discoveries to clinical care. Clinicians bring problems they have encountered at the bedside back to the laboratories to find solutions that will enhance patient’s lives. The co-location of the Institute with Monash Health one of the largest health care organizations in Australia, and our partnership with Monash University, the largest tertiary education and research organisation in Australia, enables the focus to be on patient needs. The research undertaken by the Hudson Institute will address the major burdens of disease identified as priorities by the Federal Government and National Health and Medical Research Council and will integrate its research priorities with the themes of Monash Partners, a NHMRC accredited Advanced Health Research and Translation Centre.
