Monash Health Research Precinct
Posted 16 June 2009
In a major budget announcement that promises to transform the medical research landscape in Melbourne’s South East the Federal Government has announced $71 million to fund a new translational research facility at Monash Health Research Precinct.
The Monash Health Research Precinct is a partnership between Prince Henry’s Institute, Southern Health, Monash University and the Monash Institute for Medical Research.
The funding will support the development of translational facilities for eight research areas (cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, endocrinology and metabolism, inflammatory and infectious disease, men’s health, neuroscience and mental health, pediatrics and women’s health), of which PHI is a participant in five of the themes.
PHI Director, Professor Matthew Gillespie said the commitment would be the catalyst to developing a brand new translation research precinct at the Clayton site.
