Children's Medical Research Institute

The Children’s Medical Research Institute conducts fundamental genetic research to understand the genes important for health and development, and the underlying causes of disease. Established in 1958, the CMRI has contributed to real progress in children's health, with a commitment to better treat and, where possible, prevent childhood illness and disability.

Our research is focussed on studying the key changes that occur during development so that we can identify when, where and how faults may occur. We have over 100 research scientists and world leaders in the areas of cell immortalisation, cell signalling and fate mapping. The CMRI facility was the first custom built biomedical research facility in NSW and its unique design enables our research to be conducted in a truly coordinated way. The CMRI currently has seven research units: Cancer Research, Cell Biology, Cell Transformation, Embryology, Cell Signalling, Gene Therapy and Muscle Development.
