PhD Scholarship in Tumour Biology at Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute, Australia

Date - 

he Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute (CHIRI) is the only research institute in the southern hemisphere solely dedicated to developing new treatments for diseases that more commonly occur with older age – we call these ‘adults-only’ diseases.

CHIRI’s vision is to identify new prevention and treatment strategies for adult diseases by supporting researchers who are prepared to explore the unexplored, take bigger risks in research and think outside the box in the search for major scientific insights and adult health outcomes.

Being based within Curtin’s Faculty of Health Sciences allows CHIRI to take full advantage of the unique freedom and opportunities that come with being a university-based institute.

CHIRI’s focus on discovery science makes it a natural home for new talent. As an ‘open access’ institute, CHIRI’s growing team of more than 200 scientists and research students welcome a membership of academics and students from across the university, and with partner organisations, who are pursuing research in line with the institute’s aims.
