The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) is the premier medical research institute in Australia. Set-up in the 1950's under the direction of Nobel laureate Howard Florey, the institute provides an active research environment working in areas such as immunology, molecular and genome biology, and brain function, with a focus on understanding and providing treatments for diseases like cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure. With more than 60 PhD students, the school has a vibrant student life, and strong track record of producing internationally competitive graduates, ready to mix it with the best on the world stage. The philosophy is to nurture and mentor students, while at the same time allow room for them to make their own discoveries under the supervision of internationally recognized leaders in their field.
