Our team share a spirit of dedication and curiosity. We’re here to lead and enable researchers and students to undertake medical research. 

Our partners
Hunter Medical Research Institute is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Local Health District and the community.

Heading

Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) was founded in 1998 with a mission to advance medical research and improve healthcare outcomes for our community.

From the very beginning, we’ve been committed to enhancing the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities through groundbreaking research, collaboration, and the practical application of scientific discoveries in real-world healthcare settings.

With our 2023+ Strategy, we’re actively preparing for a future that is mindful and responsive to emerging trends, advances, and shifts in the environment.

Our partnership with the community is vital to strategic success. We’re listening, learning and connecting to the one million people in our region so we can embed real-world insights throughout the entire research translation journey. With community support, involvement, and engagement, HMRI can collaborate and drive relevant research and impact.

HMRI is pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and transforming health and wellbeing for both our local communities, and communities all around the world. We’re discovering local, and curing global.

Our vision

Discover local. Cure global.
