Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI)

Welcome to HMRI

Leading research for life changing results

HMRI is a multidisciplinary medical research hub based in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.

Since 1998, its pioneering partnership with the University of Newcastle and Hunter New England Local Health District has delivered translational research and technology closely aligned to community health needs.

More than 1100 clinical and biomedical researchers and support staff are employed across seven key HMRI Research Programs, striving to prevent, cure and treat a diverse range of serious illnesses by translating research findings made in the lab into real health treatments and preventative strategies for the community.

Internationally-recognised research outcomes are being achieved in asthma and airway diseases, cancer, diabetes, mental health, nutrition, pregnancy and reproduction, stroke and more. Collaborations are being conducted with institutes on all points of the globe.

HMRI provides vital funding and facilities to fuel research, but the heart and soul of the Institute are people – the researchers, the generous donors and supporters, the committed volunteers, and the patients who participate in trials and ultimately benefit from the research results.
