Medical Research
About
The John Curtin School of Medical Research is amongst Australia's leading research institutes and performs fundamental research that tackles real-world health challenges whilst nurturing the next generation of medical researchers.
The institute was established in 1948 as a founding school of the Australian National University. We are renowned for pioneering medical breakthroughs. With a legacy of three Nobel Laureates and a league of exceptional researchers, our focus is collaborative, innovative research tackling diseases that encompass cancer, infectious diseases and neurological conditions using our expertise in neuroscience, genomics, immunology, and cancer discovery science.
Facilities
The Advanced Imaging Precinct includes the Centre for Advanced Microscopy (CAM) and the National Laboratory for X-ray Micro Computed Tomography (CTLab).
The ANU Centre for Therapeutic Discovery (ACTD) is a state-of-the-art high-throughput screening facility for biomarker and therapeutic discovery.
We are committed to helping researchers be at the forefront of scientific discovery in the fields of genetics, genomics, and molecular biosciences.
The CHASM Facility offers cutting edge instrumentation and expertise in high dimensional flow cytometry cell analysis, cell sorting, histology, automated immunochemistry, in vivo optical imaging, low dose micro-CT and Spatial Multiomics services.
The National Therapeutic mRNA Platform (NTRP) is an open-access sovereign platform for the design, testing and optimisation of novel therapeutic mRNA candidates.
