University Of Queensland Centre For Clinical Research

Education Melbourne introduces University Of Queensland Centre For Clinical Research in Herston, for all your education and learning needs.

In partnership with the Queensland Government and major US Philanthropic organisation Atlantic Philanthropies, The University of Queensland has developed the $70 million UQ Centre for Clinical Research (UQCCR) at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH).

Focused on improving people's lives through patient-orientated research, UQCCR offers state-of-the-art facilities and brings together leading health professionals, clinicians and scientists from around the globe.

By 'patient-orientated research' we mean research that is conducted in response to questions that arise at the bedside. This allows us to provide better treatment and results for patients, as well as adding to the body of knowledge about particular diseases or problems.

The four major research areas at UQCCR are:

• Cancer
• Brain and Mental Health
• Infection and Immunity
• Mothers, Babies and Lifelong Health
