HMRI Building designed to advance research and health
The Hunter Medical Research Institute’s (HMRI) world class research facility is taking shape, with plans available for public exhibition from the NSW Department of Planning from Monday October 12.
“With the support of our community, HMRI has come a long way since it was established 11 years ago. We have grown from 100 researchers to more than 700, and are now the third largest medical research institute in New South Wales. The strategy has been to grow the research capacity in the Hunter, and establish strong co-ordinated research programs that deliver research excellence,” said HMRI Chairperson Bob Kennedy.
“Over the next 10 years our aim is to have researchers here in the Hunter that are second to none in the world. In order to do that, we need to provide the right environment to allow our researchers to prosper. The HMRI Building is part of that strategy.”
The HMRI Building will house 400 medical researchers from the University.
