Our objectives
Our research objectives are to:
- Promote the RMH and the Parkville biomedical precinct as a leading centre for research
- Encourage and support health care workers to participate in research activity
- Optimise translation of research into clinical practice and health policy
- Foster collaborative relationships to optimise opportunities for research
We are at the forefront of research innovation to find new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases.
Around 50% of our research studies are collaborations with local, national and international industry, universities and research institutes.
Our collaborations
We work with many multinational pharmaceutical, biotechnology and device companies, as well as contract research organisations to provide information to regulatory bodies.
Why partner with us
We need clinical trials to prove that new treatments are safe and effective for people to use. They are essential to the discovery of new medications and devices, neither of which can be approved for use in Australia without clinical trials.
