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. |
Core facilities & services | What's new @ MIMR? |
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. The Gandel Charitable Trust Sequencing Centre, a facility MIMR shares with its fellow Monash Health Research Precinct Members, Prince Henry’s Institute and Southern Health, provides high-quality, long read DNA sequences. The High Content Cell Discovery and Screening Facility combines the advantages of high content screening with the development of genome-wide RNAi libraries and robotics to facilitate high throughput delivery science and screening assays. New to MIMR, the Immunoassay Facility utilises MIMR scientists' 20 years experience in measuring hormones and other anaylates in biological fluids. The Monash Gene Targeting Facility provides customised, genetically modified mice to the academic research community. The MIMR Histology Laboratory provides a fundamental service for research scientists, preparing tissue samples for microscopic examination of their structure at cellular level. Tissue can be fixed in paraffin or snap frozen for cryosectioning. MIMR's Micro Imaging facility provides members of the Monash Research Precinct with micro imaging consultation, instrumentation, services and training, as well as collabroative research and project development.
