Bridging Medical Research and Health
At the Kolling, we have brought together a large, talented team driven by a common goal to help diagnose, prevent and treat disease, and improve the care our community receives.
Our research is focused on improving community wellbeing across the age spectrum, supporting healthier lives from childhood through to older age.
Driven by a strong culture of collaboration and multidisciplinary expertise, our researchers are tackling some of the most significant health challenges facing society today. Their work spans a broad range of areas, including heart and kidney disease, musculoskeletal conditions, cancer, chronic pain, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Our researchers are in a strong position, backed by the resources and expertise of our joint venture partners, the University of Sydney and the Northern Sydney Local Health District.
