A global bioscience medical research leader, Hudson Institute advances healthcare through groundbreaking, collaborative medical research discoveries and their translation into real-world impact.
Our internationally recognised research programs deliver in five areas of medical need
• Inflammation
• Cancer
• Reproductive health
• Newborn health
• Hormones and health.
Our 457 scientists, clinicians and graduate students come from around the world to pursue one mission – to make medical research discoveries that save and change lives.
Located in the Monash Health Translation Precinct, our scientists work alongside clinical and industry colleagues and use advanced technology platforms to inform their discoveries.
Our themes
Inflammation
Uncontrolled inflammation in the immune system causes 50 per cent of deaths and underpins many chronic diseases. Our scientists are finding ways to prevent and treat inflammatory diseases.
Cancer
Every day, 400 Australians are diagnosed with cancer and 130 succumb to the disease. Our scientists are identifying better ways to diagnose, detect and treat cancers.
Our expertise spans the complete translation pipeline from patient need, scientific discovery to clinical testing and commercialising new preventative approaches, therapies and devices for patients.
Our Institute is named after Professor Bryan Hudson AO, the Founding Director of Prince Henry’s Institute, and Inaugural Chair of the Department of Medicine at Monash University.
Reproductive health
The reproductive system is central to conception, pregnancy and birth. Our scientists are working to reduce rates of infertility, stillbirth, endometriosis and birth trauma.
Newborn health
Almost one in five newborns starts life in neonatal care. Our scientists investigate the complications that can occur during pregnancy, birth, and the critical early weeks to protect vulnerable newborns.
Hormones and health
The endocrine (hormonal) system is important for most parts of your body to work. Our scientists’ goal is to find new treatments for hormonal conditions.
