Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) is Australia's largest child health research institute ranked among the top three globally for research quality and impact. Our team of 1,800+ researchers work across over 150 common and rare diseases and conditions affecting children ranging from allergies and asthma to cancer and rare genetic disorders. Our work extends beyond research, providing genetic testing via our subsidiary, the Victorian Clinic of Genetic Services (VCGS), to find answers for families of children with previously undiagnosed conditions. We are relentless in our pursuit to transform child health through research to improve the lives of all children.
