Our mission is to improve health through excellence in research, clinical partnerships, mentorship and service.
To achieve this, UQCCR benefits from co-location on the Herston campus with:
- The Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital - one of Australia's largest hospitals (1000 beds)
- Pathology Queensland - 14 storey diagnostic pathology block
- QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute
Through these links, UQCCR has access to a large patient base that enables the testing of clinical hypotheses and the development of clinical research projects.
UQCCR aims to optimise opportunities to conduct intensive investigation into how patients respond to new treatments and modes of diagnosis. The Centre continues to grow clinical trials research particularly focusing on ambulatory Phase Two - Early Phase Three trials, and develop new databases to monitor health outcomes.
