For 40 years we've been working to live up to Ann Woolcock's vision.

The Woolcock Institute of Medical Research strives to improve breathing and sleep health globally through world-class research, clinical care and education. We are a not-for-profit research institute.

The objective of our research is to gain a better understanding of how respiratory diseases develop and progress and design better ways to treat patients with these diseases.

The overarching aim of our research is to increase our understanding of how sleep disorders develop, progress and how they present in each individual.

The Woolcock Centre for Lung Cancer Research is Australia’s first centre dedicated to understanding and treating lung cancer, offering high-tech facilities to promote large translational research programs within the field.

The Woolcock Institute of Medical Research runs many research projects which are only possible because of the invaluable help of our volunteers. If you are interested in participating in any of our trials, please click below.
