“I grew up in Morelia, a beautiful colonial city in Mexico.

The first inkling of a scientific path came from a primary school teacher who told my parents I was destined to be a scientist because I ‘asked too many questions’.”

– Associate Professor Miguel Rentería

So, What Does QIMR Berghofer Do?

We exist to conduct world-class research that improves health outcomes for Australians and communities across the globe.

Our work spans cancer, infectious diseases, mental health, genetics, population health and more. By focusing on prevention, early detection, and new treatments, we aim to reduce the burden of disease and give people longer, healthier lives.

Why Research Matters

Medical research is the foundation of a healthier future. Without it, treatments remain undiscovered, diseases go undetected, and preventable deaths continue.

Every breakthrough brings us closer to cures, better patient care, and stronger, healthier communities. That’s why your support is so vital.

Why We Exist

QIMR Berghofer was established in 1945 with a clear mission: to prevent and cure some of the most devastating diseases of the time.

From humble beginnings, we have grown into one of Australia’s largest and most respected medical research institutes, housing more than 1,000 scientists, students and support staff across four dedicated research programs.

With the support of people like you, QIMR Berghofer continues to honour our purpose — advancing discoveries that transform lives.
