Bio21 Cluster

We are a Founding Member of the Bio21 Cluster, a not-for-profit company which was initiated in 1999 and comprises 21 closely-located research institutes, teaching hospitals, universities and publicly funded research agencies in the wider Parkville area. Bio21 member logo

The shared vision is to enhance basic medical research, translation into clinical practice, research training and biotechnology development.

By working together, and with strong support from the Victorian Government, the Cluster has attracted major shared research infrastructure, including an 800 mHz NMR, a high throughput chemical screening facility, a cancer tissue bank (Victorian Cancer BioBank) and a clinical informatics data base (BioGrid).
