The Westmead Millennium Institute is one of the largest medical research institutes in Australia conducting research into a wide range of important human disorders affecting both adults and children.
Our research spans infectious and immune diseases; cancer and leukaemia; liver and metabolic diseases; eye and brain related disorders and heart and respiratory disorders.
Closely affiliated with both Westmead Hospital and the University of Sydney, our research extends from the laboratory to the patient, using the basic tools of molecular and cell biology, genetic epidemiology, imaging technology and clinical research.
Our "Bench to Bedside" approach enables greater translation of research from biomedical discover to the development of new prevention strategies, diagnostics and more effective treatments.
In the following video you can see our Executive Director, Professor Tony Cunningham AO, discuss research at WMI, his role and the future of the institute.
