Info
The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, commonly known as the Baker Institute, is an Australian independent medical research institute headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria. Established in 1926, the institute is one of Australia’s oldest medical research organisations with an historical focus on cardiovascular disease. In 2008, it became the country’s first medical research institute to target diabetes, heart disease, obesity and their complications at the basic, clinical and population health levels.
The institute is located adjacent to The Alfred Hospital within the Alfred Medical Research and Education Precinct (AMREP). The institute also has a national Aboriginal Health program, with a research facility in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
