Our Vision

We will use the power of science to transform clinical care, reduce the burden of disease, and bring hope to patients.

Our Mission

Our mission is to pursue excellence and productivity in health by undertaking world-class clinical and research programs with the best clinicians, researchers, facilities and services. We focus on clinical practice altering research in high-needs patients. To support these programs we actively pursue wide collaborations, practical outcomes, and the creation of an enduring legacy.

Our Work

The work we do at the Institute for Immunology and Infectious Diseases delivers on our strategic objectives:

• We provide routine clinical and diagnostic services, and identify the most pressing clinical questions. We then conduct clinical observational research to address these questions and generate hypotheses to be tested in the laboratory.
• We translate the results of this research into clinical trials and improvements in clinical care and diagnostic services.
• We work to extend the research and benefits to clinical care and diagnostics around the world by collaborating with national and international institutes.

While achieving these strategic objectives, we also secure any intellectual property and commercial benefits to Western Australia.
