Australia's health system must be supported by medical research which provides the evidence base to keep people healthy and provide innovative treatment for prevention and cure.

For over 80 years researchers in the Kolling Institute of Medical Research at Royal North Shore Hospital, in conjunction with the University of Sydney, have been at the forefront of health and medical research discovery, often leading the world in developing new ways to treat and manage disease.

Major new discoveries in areas such as child health, breast cancer, arthritis, hearing, kidney disease, cardiac technology and pain management, together with the recognition achieved by leading Scientists such as Prof Bruce Robinson, Dr Chris O’Neill, Prof Robert Baxter, Dr Richard Appleyard, Prof Carol Pollock, Dr Christopher Jackson, Prof Stephen Hunyor, Dr Debbie Marsh and Prof Jonathan Morris have strengthened Kolling's international standing on health and medical research.

Investment in health and medical research will not only improve the health and quality of people's lives now and in the future, it will also generate new businesses and knowledge-based jobs, strengthening Australia's position in a growing global knowledge economy.

With your help, Kolling can continue to make a world of difference.
