Our mission

Understanding health trajectories, from the genome to the biome.

The many interlinked facets of human health, from understanding the genome and its variable expression, to disease surveillance, health data linkage, mental health and navigating life's milestones, intersect at the Health Futures Institute.

The Health Futures Institute breaks down traditional silos to deliver revolutionary research that will transform how long and how well people live, not just in Australia, but around the world.

Being located next to one of the most technologically advanced private and publicly-funded hospital precincts in the southern hemisphere, provides a unique research space to deliver this.

The respective Centres’ strengths in rare and infectious diseases and disease surveillance, drug hypersensitivity, precision medicine, health data linkage, Aboriginal mental health and childhood development and exercise sciences allow us to impact lives throughout Western Australia, Australia and the world.

These activities connect teaching, research and patient care, and generates opportunities for commercialisation and innovation for the benefit of all.
