Bridging Medical Research and Health

The Kolling Research Strategy 2021-2025 is strengthening our ability to achieve ground-breaking research, while delivering new opportunities and greater assistance to our teams.

The research strategy is focusing on areas of strength, drawing upon the expertise and resources of the University of Sydney and the Northern Sydney Local Health District, and positioning the institute as a hub of translational research excellence.

Researchers are supported to translate scientific discoveries into positive outcomes for clinical practice and community health.

They are well placed to strengthen their international, government and industry collaborations, and increase the impact of their research.
