About Us
The Garvan Institute of Medical Research (Garvan) is one of Australia’s leading medical research institutes, with over 600 scientists, students and support staff. Its mission is to make significant contributions to medical research that will change the directions of science and medicine and have major impacts on human health. Garvan’s research encompasses immunology, bone biology, neuroscience, diabetes and metabolism, cancer, and genomics and epigenetics. These research activities are organised within four themes: Cancer, Inflammatory Diseases, Healthy Aging, and Genomics, and two Centres: the Kinghorn Centre for Clinical Genomics and the Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular Genomics.
With a focus on children and incurable disease, CIRCA (Clinical Immunogenomics Research Consortium of Australasia) was established as a national/trans-Tasman, Garvan-led collaboration of medical and scientific professionals to investigate the genetic causes of rare immune diseases.

Using this information and these findings, we aspire to being able to improve outcomes for the patient, their families and other individuals with similar immune diseases.
