This film is used by our Cell Biology Group to detect the length of chromosome ends in cancer cells. This is an important part of this team's research into understanding the mechanism(s) of sustained cancer cell growth.

Cancer cell samples allow our scientists to analyse different types of cancer: how they work, how they can be treated and ultimately, how they can be cured. But they need nutrients to keep them alive and viable during experiments.

All of the...

These containers are important for the preservation of multiple DNA samples and are a basic requirement for all of the research groups at CMRI. For example, our Eye Genetics Group stores DNA from patient blood samples. This group recently detected...

The World's Number 1 Killer- Heart Disease! Whilst there are many causes of heart disease, the most significant is atherosclerosis - the thickening of blood vessels and build-up of fatty plaques within them.

Atherosclerosis can develop si...

Diabetes Australia is committed to turning diabetes around through awareness, prevention, detection and ultimately, a cure for diabetes. Diabetes Australia provides support to people with diabetes through lobbying the government for better standar...

Supporting research at the RCH helps us pioneer new treatments and search for cures.

The CMRI uses over 240,000 pipette tips each year. These tips fit on the end of special pipettes and allow very accurate measurements of small volumes of DNA, RNA or protein solutions required for individual experiments.
