With two research intensive schools, medical education, and five hospital-based institutes and centres, we are well positioned to link the pre-clinical and clinical sciences with population and global health. Within our Faculty, we are teachers and we are researchers. We are students and we are staff. We are health professionals and together, we are united in our quest to make a global difference to health outcomes. Medical and biomedical science research projects within the Faculty have already led to discoveries with far-reaching social and economic impacts, including the Gardasil vaccine for cervical cancer.
