Centre for Biologic Therapies

A collaboration between WEHI and CSL, the Centre for Biologic Therapies provides access to expert biologic discovery and optimisation capabilities, accelerating drug development into the clinic, and ultimately addressing a current gap in Australian medical research.

Centre for Dynamic Imaging

The Centre for Dynamic Imaging helps scientists use advanced imaging technology and powerful computational resources to generate detailed and real-time views of biological systems.

These new insights are advancing medical research and our understanding of how diseases develop, spread and respond to treatment.

Centre for Global Disease and Health

The Centre for Global Disease and Health brings together teams from across WEHI to discover and develop innovative solutions to some of the biggest health challenges affecting the world’s poorest populations.

National Drug Discovery Centre

The National Drug Discovery Centre enables Australian medical researchers to access the latest in advanced ultra-high throughput screening, addressing a critical early challenge in the drug discovery pipeline.

Parkinson's Disease Research Centre 

The WEHI Parkinson's Disease Research Centre is a collaborative, multidisciplinary initiative to develop improved clinical diagnostics and precision medicines as new drugs to slow or stop disease progression and improve health outcomes for people with Parkinson's.
