Laboratories

The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is one of the few institutes in the world where the work of our staff spans from benchtop to bedside. The Institute has more than 300 scientists, scientific support staff, clinicians, health professionals and students who work across a range of laboratories undertaking research to tackle the deadly trio of diseases: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. This multi-faced approach ensures that the Institute brings everything to bear on these challenging health issues.
