Snow Research Clinics

The Snow Centre Clinical Research Unit, located at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, offers individuals with immune conditions and healthy volunteers the opportunity to contribute to pioneering immune health research.

The initial focus of the research is on four major areas of disease:

primary immune deficiencies
allergies and asthma
autoimmunity
kidney transplantation

We are also recruiting healthy participants for the study.

The focus of the research is to conduct studies on patients’ blood and/or tissue that look at:

what immune cells are present

how they function and interact

and aspects of their genetic makeup

The Snow Centre Clinical Research Unit will bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and patient care, ensuring that effective therapies reach patients as swiftly as possible.

Snow Centre researchers aim to gain a better understanding of immune function to develop more effective diagnostic tests and therapies.

This research has the potential to transform the way we manage and treat immune disorders.

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 research being undertaken at the Snow Centre Clinical Research Unit and WEHI’s co-leadership with the Royal Melbourne Hospital means that, in the future, discoveries can be rapidly translated from the lab to benefit patients.
