Walter and Eliza Hall Institute

The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research is one of Australia's leading biomedical research organisations, with a national and international reputation for performing highly influential basic and translational research.

Our research
We are addressing some of the major health challenges of our time, with a focus on:

Cancer - understanding the basic processes that are disrupted to generate cancer cells, and how these can be targeted to treat disease
Immune health and infection - discovering how the body fights infection, and how errors in the immune system lead to disease
Development and ageing - studying how the biological foundations laid down during gestation and childhood affect development, and how our longer life expectancy presents new challenges for our ageing population
We are at the forefront of research innovation, with a strong commitment to excellence and investment in research computing, advanced technologies and developing new medicines and diagnostics.

The Institute is organised around five research themes:

Infection, Inflammation and Immunity
Cancer Research and Treatments
Health Development and Ageing
New Medicines and Advanced Technologies
Computational Biology
