Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI)
Participate in Research
HMRI is committed to improving the wellbeing of humanity through health and medical research.
HMRI facilitates collaborations between researchers translating groundbreaking scientific advances in the laboratory into better clinical care, competitive commercial products and improved health care guidelines.
By participating in a research study, you are helping researchers improve existing treatments and find new approaches which could benefit someone close to you and the community at large.
Those who participate in clinical trials and other studies are often the first to access and benefit from new and emerging treatments across a range of areas.
You also have the satisfaction of one helping someone else with an illness, providing important scientific information that will be used to develop new disease treatments and improve already existing ones.
Many HMRI research studies also recruit through the HMRI Research Register.
