Snow Research Clinics

Bridging the gap between research discoveries and patient care

 

The Snow Research Clinics will be located at the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH). They will give people suffering from immune conditions and healthy volunteers the opportunity to contribute to developing better diagnostics and treatment.

The clinics are expected to open in 2025.

The initial focus of the clinics will be on four major areas of disease:

  • primary immune deficiencies
  • allergies and asthma
  • autoimmunity
  • kidney transplantation

 

Patients will be able to participate in research related to immune-mediated diseases.

The clinics will bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and patient care, ensuring that promising therapies reach patients as swiftly as possible.

Snow Centre researchers will gain access to rich study participant data to fast-track research translation from bedside to benchtop and back again.

The clinics have the potential to shape future health care practice and create a new generation of clinical experts in immune health.

Accelerating discovery through collaboration

Immune conditions like asthma, allergies and arthritis affect millions of people. Treatments are limited, and for some diseases there are none.

Most medical research globally to-date has focused on a disease by disease, project by project approach, and has led to few new treatments.

The combination of patient-focused Snow Research Clinics and WEHI’s co-leadership with the Royal Melbourne Hospital means, in the future, discoveries can be rapidly taken out of the lab to benefit patients.
