For over 30 years, Murdoch Children's Research Institute has been making discoveries to improve child health. We conduct research into conditions affecting children, such as allergies, diabetes and obesity, as well as finding answers to unsolved problems, such as cancer and genetic conditions. Our 1500 researchers have long been making innovative discoveries. Researchers at the Institute have developed new treatments and diagnostics for childhood cancers, helped children with cerebral palsy walk through the help of revolutionary Botox treatment and have improved the life expectancy for children with serious heart conditions through implementing advanced heart operations and enhanced procedures.
The Institute conducts nationally and internationally recognised studies to help give doctors and parents the knowledge to improve the health and wellbeing of children. We are focused on addressing the big health issues affecting our kids.
