The Clinical Translation division works to turn laboratory discoveries into improved outcomes for patients. 

Our team is led by clinician scientists who run research laboratories at the Institute and hold clinical appointments in Melbourne hospitals. By facilitating linkages between the laboratory, hospitals and healthcare providers we’re working to develop better ways to detect, diagnose and treat disease.
