We perform essential discovery and translational research to improve the health of Tasmanians and to tackle diseases of global significance.

This includes cutting-edge research in our laboratories to understand issues such as the molecular underpinnings of development, the epigenetics of cancer, cellular level studies of respiratory health throughout the human lifespan and developing new molecular tools to probe brain function.

Our clinical, population and public health research directly impacts Tasmanians while uncovering critical insights of national and international significance. Our researchers also work with communities to improve health literacy and boost health professional education.
