Life – with all its complexity, joy and heartbreak - is what motivates us to build a better world. We believe that to improve health, we must understand the human experience, the forces that affect wellbeing, and the way policies and services converge to address community needs. »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ places a strong emphasis on public health and epidemiology, from harm reduction and disease prevention to vaccine efficacy and therapeutics. We engage in bold projects, like the international effort to eliminate cervical cancer in the Pacific, and practise tenderness to improve individual treatment of mental health, substance disorders and end-of-life-care.

We’ve made a bet on precision medicine, which is already revolutionising healthcare by allowing us to tailor diagnostics and treatments to a patient’s unique epigenetic profile. Through the use of AI-driven computer sequencing we can now decode vast amounts of gene, RNA and protein data from patient and disease cells. This detailed understanding allows us to better predict risk, progression and treatment response – leading to huge advances in treatment plans that optimise therapeutic efficacy while minimising adverse effects.

Most importantly, we're accelerating the translation of research into publicly available healthcare. Our researchers have developed wearable technologies to prevent falls in older adults, made medical history with Australia’s first successful childbirth from a transplanted uterus, and partnered in the nation’s largest childhood cancer initiative, . This groundbreaking trial guarantees personalised care to every child with high-risk cancer and has already shown significant improvement in progression-free survival. When it comes to health, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ is committed to going big.
