Institutional objectives and research directions
The research direction of the ANZAC Research Institute is based on the objectives of the ANZAC Health and Medical Research Foundation and shaped by the opportunities available through the academic and research staff of
Concord
Hospital
. The main research theme of the ANZAC Research Institute is ageing, with the long-term goal of prolonging enjoyable, independent living for the ageing population through preventing the preventable and delaying the inevitable. As the only major independent biomedical research institute with a primary focus on ageing, the ANZAC Research Institute aims to co-ordinate the highest quality innovative research at all levels from public and population health, to clinical research, molecular physiology (animal models) as well as cell and molecular biology.
