RMIT University
The School of Health and Biomedical Sciences at RMIT University focusses on teaching and research that is underpinned by an evidence-based approach and a commitment to translating fundamental science into improved health outcomes. In May 2024, Northern Health and RMIT University established a Clinical Translational Research Partnership to accelerate new knowledge into clinical practice. This partnership will initially focus on spectroscopy, coagulation, pathology, and cancer biology research with the aim of driving innovation, improving patient outcomes, and positioning both institutions as leaders in healthcare research.
