In partnership with the Queensland Government and major US Philanthropic organisation Atlantic Philanthropies, The University of Queensland has developed the $70 million UQ Centre for Clinical Research (CCR) at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH).
Focused on improving people's lives through patient-orientated research, we offer state-of-the-art facilities and bring together leading health professionals, clinicians and scientists from around the globe.
By 'patient-orientated research' we mean research that is conducted in response to questions that arise in the health care setting. This allows us to provide better treatment and results for patients, as well as adding to the body of knowledge about particular diseases or problems.
