Research Commitment
to research, to our students and to serving the community
Core research areas for The John Curtin School of Medical Research
(JCSMR) include genomics, immunity, gene regulation
and cell signalling, neuroscience and integrative physiology. This
research means the School can make important contributions to the understanding
and treatment of infectious diseases, diabetes, cancer, asthma and high blood
pressure.
The School is organised into three major research divisions, Molecular Bioscience,
Immunology and Genetics, and Neuroscience, which reflect
the diversity of the medical research disciplines covered by our research programmes.
Each division is comprised of independent groups and
laboratories. There is also a High Blood Pressure Research Unit headed by the
School's Director.
