Centre for Healthcare Transformation
Our multidisciplinary team transforms research evidence into practical insights to enable effective change for our health service partners, who seek trusted solutions to complex health system challenges. Our work is organised into three areas of activity:

Centre for genomics and personalised health
We translate knowledge from genomics research into solutions that improve human health by discovering better methods of diagnosing disease, developing targeted treatments based on genetics, and training the next generation of translational genomics scientists.
Research areas
In addition to our University and Faculty research centres, we undertake a large span of research across our schools through individuals and groups of academics who spearhead research discoveries to improve health outcomes of people and communities. View the highlighted research areas below.
Research networks
We are home to leading facilities and groups that conduct crucial and innovative research in a range of health disciplines. Our work occurs in state of the art facilities at QUT campuses, and at distributed sites along with other leading research teams.
