In the late 1980s, the Menzies Foundation supported the establishment of an epidemiology research centre at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, to be named the Menzies Centre for Population Health Research. The Foundation provided annual funding to the Institute and was successful in obtaining matching funds from the Tasmanian Government. The Menzies Centre for Population Health Research was formed in 1988 and became the Menzies Research Institute in 2004. From modest beginnings, the Menzies Research Institute quickly gained a reputation for its ground-breaking work into the link between babies’ sleeping position and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). From this work, our research expanded and epidemiological research programs were developed. In 2006, we expanded our focus on both clinical and basic science, to ensure that the depth and quality of our research was enhanced and strengthened. Some notable successes include discovering: The link between babies' sleeping position and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) Platelets found in the blood kill the malaria parasite during the early stages of a malarial infection Seven genetic markers linked to men's risk of developing prostate cancer Higher vitamin D levels are associated with a lower relapse risk in multiple sclerosis Nerve cells in undamaged parts of the brain can remodel themselves in response to acquired brain injury. At the Menzies Research Institute Tasmania our aspiration is to contribute significantly to human health and wellbeing, with particular emphasis upon research that takes advantage of Tasmania’s unique population resource and other competitive advantages. Our research efforts focus on preventing a range of diseases including cancer, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic lung disease, osteoporosis, mental health and dementia. We are undertaking nationwide studies and collaborating with interstate and international researchers. Menzies has a clear vision for the future. We plan to continue expanding our research to cover more disease areas, start new projects that are highly innovative, attract more world-class scientists to our shores, and increase our collaborative links throughout Australia and internationally. Our forward thinking will bring us one step closer to our vision of preventing or curing disease and saving lives.
