We also undertake nationwide studies and collaborate with interstate and international researchers. Our context is an island community that has limited funding for health care and specific challenges relating to disadvantage.Our research is community-focused and takes a 'bench-to-bedside' approach that is aimed at improving patient care and clinical outcomes by translating knowledge into clinical and policy actions, and through the commercial applications of discoveries. We educate and train future research scientists, clinicians and health professionals.
