The Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute is a $153 million
medical research centre that officially opened in April 2009. It is based at the
Monash University Clayton campus.
Established through a joint
venture between Monash University and the Victorian Government, ARMI builds on the University's existing strengths in
biomedical research and supports the critical infrastructure
required to deliver the next generation of discoveries in regenerative
medicine.
At full capacity ARMI will
be one of the world's largest regenerative medicine and stem cell
research centres. Its scientists focus on unraveling the basic
mechanisms of the regenerative process, aiming to eventually enable doctors to prevent,
halt and reverse damage to vital organs due to disease, injury or
genetic conditions.
This work will form the basis of treatments for
conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, arthritis,
musculo-skeletal and cardiovascular diseases. |
