About MHTP
MHTP is a partnership between:
- Monash Health – Victoria’s largest public health service, working with translational research partners to provide exceptional care and outstanding outcomes.
- Hudson Institute of Medical Research – Improving global wellbeing through excellence in medical research and clinical application.
- School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, Monash University – Australia’s largest university with an international reputation for innovative health research.
MHTP is also a critical component of Monash Partners Academic Health Science Centre.
Through these partnerships, leading researchers have direct access to clinicians and patients, enabling scientific breakthroughs to reach the bedside more effectively than ever before.
To facilitate the vision of the MHTP, the partners, with the support of the Federal Government, built the MHTP Translational Research Facility (TRF), which was completed in October 2015. By co-locating research institutes and clinicians, the TRF creates stronger ties between basic and clinical research teams, clinicians and patients.
