Burnet Institute is an Australian-based medical research and public health institute and international non-government organisation that is working towards a more equitable world through better health.
We are committed to creating and translating knowledge into better health so no-one is left behind. We do this through engaging with and understanding the needs of a broad range of communities and stakeholders to develop laboratory-based and social research programs, policies and products that deliver better health outcomes.
EXPERTISE
With more than 400 staff involved in research and public health programs in seven countries, including Australia, the group's expertise lies in specific infectious diseases of global health significance – such as HIV and AIDS, hepatitis viruses, influenza, malaria and emerging infectious diseases.
The group's scientists and researchers are studying the immune responses to these diseases and developing therapies to these infections and other human diseases including some cancers.
What makes the group's work unique is the linking of laboratory-based medical research with field-based public health programs aimed at creating a healthier world.
