As the largest regional medical research institute in Australia, the ground-breaking work of Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) has changed the lives of so many over the past 26 years and we could never have done it alone.

HMRI has always been about collaboration from day one when a group of world class researchers, health professionals and community leaders dreamt up an organisation that would make a positive impact on peoples’ lives. Through this unique partnership with our local health district, university and our community, HMRI has continued to punch above our weight. We live in a very special place and our secret to success is the way we come together putting individual egos aside and working in an agile way to tackle the biggest issues of our time.

At HMRI we push our research further to make it relevant to everyday life. Our world leading experts collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams with one goal, to help our community be healthier. We want to supercharge this, by being radically collaborative, across our district, with remote communities, with other research institutes and with industry.
