It is a very special time for medical research particularly for an institute like Centenary, where we see the clinical benefits of basic research every day. The dreams we had of new treatments for disease some 20 years ago, one by one, are becoming realities.
At the Centenary Institute we focus our reserach on discoveries - ones that will improve diagnosis, treatments and cures for cancer, cardiovascular, immunological and infectious diseases so each generation will live a longer, healthier life.
The Centenary Institute forms a critical point of contact and intellectual engagement between the University of Sydney and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. As many of our senior scientists are clinicians at RPAH, they understand and are connected to the real problems of patients.
We look forward to updating Motherpedia readers more on important discoveries from the lab which are of direct relevance to you and your loved ones.
