Our investment in nine world-leading Technology Platforms is a game-changer for progress in medical research. Strategically located on a central floor of the TRF, they provide students access to advanced research methods and equipment.

Using Technology Platforms students develop skills in a range of sophisticated approaches to gene targeting, genomic, proteomic and high-content analysis of cell and animal biology, as well as advanced stem cell technologies, embryo microinjection gene arrays, laser capture micro-dissection, confocal microscopy and cell imaging.

The eight bed, 21 chair Clinical Trials Centre within the TRF is directly linked by a walk-through bridge to Monash Health. This proximity ensures our research is focused on the most pressing patient needs, and supports the movement of our discoveries from initial Phase I testing through to Phase IV primary health trials.

The ability to sell and present research persuasively and effectively to a wide audience sets Hudson Institute students apart as research leaders.

Students develop these skills at weekly and special seminars, an annual student symposium and Centre journal clubs, as well as national and international scientific meetings and conferences. This is a core part of the conditions of candidature.

Hudson Institute is not all about work.  Our students get involved with institute life and social events, and join a wide range of student social events organised by the Hudson Institute and Student Society.
