At QIMR Berghofer, we seek to discover, diagnose and deliver better treatments for some of the world’s deadliest diseases. We research #cancer, #infectiousdiseases, #mentalhealth and #chronic disorders.

QIMR Berghofer is a world-leading medical research institute, renowned for our efforts in both discovery and translational (real patient setting) research. Our dedicated team of over 1000 scientists, staff and students research hundreds of diseases and conditions within cancer, mental health, infectious diseases, and chronic disorders, in more than 60 specialised laboratories.

QIMR Berghofer was established 75 years ago to research terrible infectious and tropical diseases plaguing Queensland and our near neighbours. The Institute now researches a wide range of diseases across the areas of cancer, mental health and chronic disorders in addition to infectious diseases.

We have a world-class team of clinicians, virologists and immunologists who are at the forefront of infectious diseases research. Our ability to quickly respond and play a key role in the global response to COVID-19 was made possible through the generous donations of individuals who believed in the importance of investing in medical research, particularly in these concerning times.
