Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, Medical research institute in Brisbane, Australia
The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation was a research facility located on the Kelvin Grove Campus of Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, with additional laboratory space at Prince Charles Hospital. The operation spanned two main locations equipped with specialized research laboratories for medical work.
Founded in 2000, the institute connected research and clinical practice across Queensland's medical sector. It ceased operations in 2020 when the university restructured and redistributed its research into smaller specialized centers.
The institute fostered collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and students across three main research themes focusing on health systems and chronic diseases.
The two locations were not designed as public visitor sites but rather as specialized research facilities. Those interested in the institution's research history might explore the campus settings to understand where the work took place.
Initial funding came from three different sources: Queensland Government, the university itself, and an international charitable foundation. This triple funding approach was unusual and allowed the institute to grow beyond typical university research budgets.
