Welcome to the
Monash Institute of
Medical Research

The Monash Institute of Medical Research pioneers research into the characterisation and application of stem cells, the cause and treatment of inflammation and cancer, and the improvement of women's, men's and children's health.

Its outstanding reputation has been built on ground-breaking advances in assisted human reproduction, the reduction of SIDS, advances in stem cell research and the treatment of arthritis. 

Close collaboration with the resources of Monash University and the Monash Health Research Precinct enables MIMR to increase the impact of its research by translation from 'bench to bedside' and by the commercialisation of its activities. 

MIMR’s core facilities provide scientists with the opportunity to access equipment and services that are too costly for individual laboratories to maintain. All services are available to MIMR researchers and the wider scientific community.
