ARMI
Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute
The Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute is a state-of-the-art research facility established by a joint venture between Monash University and the Government of Victoria.
The Institute is located on Monash’s Clayton campus and opened in April 2009. At full capacity, it will be one of the world's largest regenerative medicine and stem cell research hubs. Research focuses on unraveling basic mechanisms underlying the regenerative process, enabling physicians to prevent, halt and reverse damage to vital organs due to disease, injury or genetic conditions. This research will form the basis of treatments for conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, arthritis, musculo-skeletal and cardiovascular diseases.
Building on and enhancing existing Monash University expertise in stem cell, developmental and structural biology, ARMI integrates research in three key platforms:
- structural biology (molecular level);
- cell biology (cell level); and
- regenerative biology (organism level).
