Our Research Institutes

Murdoch University is a member of the Innovative Research Universities group of Australia, a network of comprehensive universities conducting research of national and international standing.

Our research on the nexus between human, animal and environmental health is providing a roadmap for addressing complex and unique global challenges with institutes dedicated to each of these areas.

Health Futures Institute

As global populations increase and age, and the climate changes, a holistic focus on the interface between human, animal and environmental health is needed.

The Health Futures Institute, located next to one of the most technologically advanced private and publicly-funded hospital precincts in the southern hemisphere, provides a unique research space to deliver this.

The Institute focuses on clearly defined health-related research areas and pursues those in partnership with local healthcare providers, community groups and international collaborators.
