The Heart Research Institute (HRI)

The Heart Research Institute is an internationally recognised medical research institute that performs groundbreaking cardiovascular research. Our mission is to prevent death and suffering from cardiovascular diseases, a complex array of diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels. We will address areas of unmet need in cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, preeclampsia, congenital heart disease and pulmonary vascular disease, as well as metabolic complications such as diabetes. Specifically, our research programs will: • Provide greater understanding of the pathogenesis, development, and early detection of cardiovascular diseases • Develop new drug therapies and devices to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases and translate these through to clinical trials • Train the next generation of cardiovascular research leaders • Connect cardiovascular research communities to maximise collaboration and research translation. HRI was awarded "Best Workplace 2020" by Voice Project for providing an exceptional work environment for staff. Our world-class facilities are headquartered in Newtown, Sydney with additional research laboratories at the Charles Perkins Centre, The University of Sydney. HRI collaborates with institutes throughout Australia and globally – with over 110 collaborations across 44 countries – and is partnered with the Charles Perkins Centre, the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney Local Health District and Sydney Health Partners.
