Garvan Institute of Medical Research

We see a healthier future. It’s within reach.

At some point, we all have to face up to failing health. Sometimes the fight is quick and easy; sometimes it’s a lifelong struggle. But no matter what fight we face, whether it’s in our bodies, in our loved ones, in our minds or in our hearts. We always hope for a healthier future.

And at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, with your support, we believe that future is within reach for everyone.

The Garvan Institute is a leading multi-disciplinary biomedical research institute in Darlinghurst, Sydney. With some of the brightest scientific minds and best technologies on the planet, we see the big picture of health and disease.

Our researchers harness all the information of our DNA to better predict, diagnose, prevent and treat disease — and realise our vision of a future where everyone lives longer, healthier lives.

Our research is developing earlier detection and finding real treatments for the diseases having the biggest impact on society. We have 70 research groups working on over 50 diseases, across 4 collaborative and intersected research themes:

• Cancer – Breast, brain, blood, bone, lung, pancreatic, prostate and rare and less common cancers.
• Diseases of Ageing – Osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity, neuro-degenerative diseases including Parkinson’s and dementia.
• Inflammatory Diseases – Immune deficiency, autoimmune diseases, auto-inflammatory diseases, cancer immunity and transplantation.
• Genomics – Genomics is the study of all the information encoded in your DNA. Variations in our DNA affect our health. Through genomic research, we can transform healthcare.

A gift in your Will is a gift for generations to come.

A bequest to Garvan is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact on the health and lives of future generations. By supporting Garvan you will be helping your own, and everyone’s family and friends. Now and in the future. By including a gift in your Will to Garvan you are joining a family of honoured supporters that we call ‘Partners for the Future’.

For every $1 we receive in Government research grants, we must find an additional 70 cents for our research to be achievable. So whether large, medium or small your gift in your Will to Garvan will strengthen the longevity and impact of our medical research – both now and for future generations.

If you decide to include a gift in your Will to Garvan, you will be partnering with an organisation that has been a nationally and internationally recognised centre of excellence in medical research for over 56 years.
