Medical research boosted with new seed funding awarded to translational clinical collaborations
The Translational Research Institute (TRI) and its hospital partners, Metro South Health (MSH), Mater Research and Children’s Health Queensland (CHQ) have jointly awarded 7 new research grants to drive new clinical collaborations between early-career clinicians and scientists.
PAH and TRI collaboration results in world first with successful nerve repair surgery
The first patient of an ongoing clinical trial has recovered well following world-first sutureless nerve repair surgery performed at Princess Alexandra Hospital.
An Australian-first initiative of 'bench to bedside' medical research
The Translational Research Institute (TRI) is a unique, Australian-first initiative of ‘bench to bedside’ medical research. TRI combines clinical and translational research to advance progress from laboratory discovery to application in the community.
The work conducted at TRI is translational research, a research process which involves teams of patients, clinicians and researchers working together to solve health challenges faster. The work is driven by the needs of patients, a question formed by a clinician and a solution sought by a scientist.
What is Translational Research?
Also known as 'bench-to-bedside' research, it is a type of medical research that focusses on 'translating' basic science discoveries from the laboratory into the clinic.
The aim is to improve how we detect, diagnose and treat health conditions, and improve health outcomes for patients.
At TRI, we work to develop new treatments and diagnostics for conditions ranging from various cancers to autoimmune diseases, and translate these discoveries into improved healthcare.
