About the Alfred Research Alliance

At the Alfred Research Alliance, we aim to blend world-leading research, education, and clinical services to achieve better health outcomes — sooner.

To do this, we brought together eight independent organisations with a shared commitment to excellence in medical research – Alfred Health, Monash University, Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Burnet Institute, Deakin University, La Trobe University, Nucleus Network and 360biolabs.

The Alfred Research Alliance is now a multi-layered community known for award-winning researchers and health practitioners. Home to experts in biomedical, translational, clinical and public health research.

Our co-location with The Alfred gives us the unique opportunity for a hospital-centered approach, where research can be linked directly to real-world problems. 

As one of Australia’s busiest hospitals, The Alfred offers health services in almost every specialist medical and surgical discipline. Our hospital-centred approach complements both research development and patient engagement.

Here, the latest advances in medical research are rapidly translated into the best possible clinical care and health outcomes for the community – locally, nationally, and internationally.

Alliance members share a commitment to furthering knowledge and translating our research into new and improved diagnoses, treatments and public health strategies. By working together, we know we can make a bigger difference – sooner.

Above all, our shared vision for the Alfred Research Alliance is to make a positive impact on the lives of real people, every day.

Alfred Research Alliance is a vibrant collaborative community in Melbourne, dedicated to excellence in medical research and education.
