New building update

The landscape is changing dramatically at QIMR with construction of our new 15 floor research facility underway thanks to a generous gift from The Atlantic Philanthropies and funding from the Queensland and Federal Governments.

Set between the existing Bancroft Centre and Clive Berghofer Cancer Research Centre, the new building will serve as the integrating hub and provide an inviting street profile and focal point for QIMR.

Upon completion in early 2012, the facility will accommodate 20 new research laboratories and attract an additional 400 scientists and students.  This expansion will increase the Institute’s research capacity in areas such as tropical diseases, vaccine development, cancer and genetics.
