Our research

Responding to global health challenges relative to their urgency and the availability of meaningful drug therapies.

Research structure

Four Therapeutic Areas capture research projects at the Centre, based around cancer, infectious diseases, neurological & CNS disorders and cardiovascular disease.

Within each area, a critical mass of multidisciplinary researchers work synergistically to resolve a series of interlinked questions through one of four DDI-funded Priority-Driven Programs (PDP).

Each program is designed by lead researchers to offset wider aims with tangible progress over three years.

We progress drug design innovation at an intersection of internationally awarded expertise, novel ideas and advanced techniques. Sustainable collaborative practice sits at the core of our research ethos.

Therapeutic Areas

Our research is categorised according to four foundational Therapeutic Areas, representing identified points of highly sought but underserved clinical need.

These areas form an essential overview of how our research mission is executed operationally, and signifies points of research interest for researchers, collaborators and external stakeholders.
