Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI)

Overview

Australia's largest child health research institute and ranking among the top three globally for research quality and impact, this organization is dedicated to preventing and treating childhood conditions through discovery, diagnosis, and intervention. Established in 1986, it is based at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and actively collaborates with the hospital and the University of Melbourne to translate research into clinical and community applications.

Its research is organized into six key themes: stem cell medicine, clinical sciences, genetics, infection and immunity, population health, and data science. Addressing over 150 childhood diseases—such as diabetes, allergies, asthma, and cancer—it also provides clinical services like genetic testing for undiagnosed conditions and newborn screening. Through innovative work, the institute has a significant impact on the health and well-being of children worldwide.
