The Westmead Millennium Institute will continue to grow as
a world leader in medical research with the power to improve
the health of all mankind.
Our “Bench to Bedside” philosophy will ensure that
our research outcomes are rapidly translated into better
prevention strategies, treatments and healthcare for all.
The Westmead Millennium Institute is one of the largest
medical research institutes in Australia with over 400 staff
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 brainrelated
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.
This ‘Bench to Bedside’ approach enables greater translation of
research from biomedical discovery to the development of new
prevention strategies, diagnostics and more effective treatments.
