Overview

The Research Centre for Systems Health and Integrated Metabolic Research (SHiMR) delivers interdisciplinary research to explore health and diseases across the life course.

SHiMR aims to tackle some of this century’s most urgent health challenges by harbouring expertise in priority research themes:

  • Cancer Biology, Immunology and Therapeutics (CBIT)
  • Metabolic Health
  • Antimicrobial Resistance, Omics and Microbiota (AROM)
  • Integrative Neurophysiology

Together the central themes enable a collaborative research ideology to generate answers to urgent questions and benefit our understanding of human health. Our researchers investigate cellular and physiological mechanisms to identify of fundamental disease progress and provide new therapeutic tools. As a collaborative team, we strive to detect disease earlier and aid the development of new treatments by utilising state-of-the-art technological platforms.
