Mater Research is the research arm of Mater, part of a collaborative research institute with The University of Queensland and a proud founding partner of the Translational Research Institute.

As an internationally recognised leader in medical research, our bench to bedside philosophy means we work across Mater's hospitals and health services, The University of Queensland and the world-class Translational Research Institute. We are committed to working closely with Mater Health, Mater Education and our growing networking of collaborating partners to turn scientific discovery into the best possible treatment, care, and outcomes for patients and our broader community.

To provide these services, we rely on the support of our volunteers, our partners in the community and the generous financial support of our donors.

We also value your input to ensure we are meeting your needs as it’s this feedback that allows us to continue to be relevant to the community in which we are here to serve.

We are our Mission. For more than a century, we have existed to respond to unmet community need; to provide compassionate care to those who need it most. Our Mission and Values are our constant guide to make appropriate decisions for a sustainable, socially relevant service that is genuinely committed to the delivery of a healthy community for everyone.
