Murdoch Childrens Research Institute
0 job vacancy
We are the largest child health research insittute in Australia and in the top 3 child health research insitutes for research quality and impact!
Our team of more than 3000 talented staff are dedicated to making discoveries to prevent and treat childhood conditions. Many of our researchers are also clinicians at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, where the Institute is based. Their research is informed by the problems facing their patients but it also means when a discovery is made, this is quickly transformed into practical treatments for children in the hospital.
The Institute marks its 36th anniversary in 2022. Our story began in 1986 when paediatrician Professor David Danks established the original Murdoch Institute with the unparalleled generosity and support of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch.
Murdoch Children’s research improves the lives of millions of kids each year. We research health conditions including diabetes, allergies, asthma, premature birth and mental health problems, which are on the rise in our children, and conditions including cancer and genetic disorders that remain unsolved. We study the health of communities to understand what factors influence child health at the population level and research common infections and immune conditions both locally and globally.
Our work goes beyond research. We are one of the only research institutes in Australia to offer genetic testing to find answers for families of children with previously undiagnosed conditions, using the latest genetic sequencing technology.
We believe that for every question there's an answer and for every childhood illness there must be a way to prevent or cure it. We spend our days searching for answers to problems because we have one shared goal - to make discoveries that transform child health.
