Why Partner With Us?
Together, let’s create a healthier world.
Creating the best patient outcomes
The best patient outcomes occur when we pair the brightest minds in medical research with global commercial partners. Together, we can translate innovative lab discoveries into successful commercial ventures, which make a significant impact on patient lives, drive medical innovations, and create a healthier future for people around the world.
External collaborations
For almost 80 years, QIMR Berghofer has collaborated with external programs to perform contract research.
Through hundreds of research projects, we’ve deepened our collective understanding of:
- cancer
- infectious diseases
- mental health
- chronic disorders
- genomics
- epidemiology.
With our laboratories and research located within the Herston Health Precinct, we’re part of a world-leading cluster of biomedical, research, education, and clinical organisations. This means we have easy access to patient samples, technologies, and platforms for target validation. Our major partners in the precinct are Queensland University of Technology, The University of Queensland, and Metro North Hospital and Health Service. The area is also home to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Jamieson Trauma Institute, and the Herston Biofabrication Institute.
