Need for collaborative research

Rates of diagnosis for major life-threatening diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and dementia are on the rise across the globe. We need to create a paradigm shift and advance medical science if we are to turn this trend around for our children and for generations to come.

Collaboration between researchers who offer different and complementary perspectives, knowledge, experience, and skills is one of the most effective ways to accelerate the pace of discovery and save lives – especially at a global level.

That’s because today’s problems are so complex, and medical research so specialised, that it’s become increasingly necessary to bring together experts from multiple fields in order to have a transformative impact on existing and and newly emerging diseases.

Collaborative Approach

The intense competition amongst medical researchers for limited project funds not only encourages overly ‘safe-to-do’ research, it can also create an environment in which researchers are loath to share innovative ideas.

Instead of competition, HAMRC believes that collaboration and openness best fuel breakthrough science. Rather than pitting scientists against each other, HAMRC facilitates and funds synergistic, cross-border, multi centred research studies.

Research collaborations between Hadassah Israel and Australian researchers can quicken the pace of discovery and address the gaps in domestic and international healthcare by:

  • Stimulating new ideas and approaches to research by advancing and promoting cross-fertilisation of medical knowledge and expertise;
  • Creating enhanced efficiency and capacity through the sharing of data, technology, equipment and laboratory resources;
  • Decreasing the time needed for clinical trials by enabling the recruitment of a larger number of trial subjects through leveraging Israel’s unique clinical trial ecosystem.

We invite you to partner with HAMRC to support impactful, collaborative research aimed at curing the most intractable diseases.

    Stable Glucose Levels Prolong Life for Diabetics, Hadassah Study Finds

    A Hadassah Medical Organization study reveals that adults with diabetes whose glucose levels fluctuate over the course of five years have an increased risk of mortality compared with those whose levels remain stable.

    Hadassah Develops its own CAR T Therapy to Treat Multiple Myeloma

    “Many of the hospital staff treating me used to be my patients. Now my life is in their hands,” relates Hadassah Medical Organization social worker Tali Rosen. Since Rosen’s job as a Hadassah social worker was a challenging one, she waved away the initial tiredness and aching bones she experienced. When repeated infections became more than a nuisance, she had herself tested. Rosen was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, cancer within the spongy bone marrow.

    From Hidden Child During the Holocaust to Hadassah Surgeon

    Dr Shaul Perlberg, age 80, is still practising urology at Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus, as he has for many years. But it wasn’t until 16 years ago that he decided to reveal the incredible story of his childhood, the reunion with his mother after the Holocaust, their move to Israel, and the way he met the love of his life, Raya.

    About us

    The HAMRC Foundation is a bold new initiative – a multi-centred collaborative research model that brings together the brightest minds from Israel’s Hadassah Hospital and leading research institutions in Australia and internationally to solve some of the most intractable health problems facing the world today.

  • Research partnerships

    In Hadassah Australia's journey to expand research partnerships, we have collaborated with leading Australian health organisations.

  • Partnering with Israel

    Partnering with Israel

    With every dollar invested in medical research, Australia gains a $3.90 return to the economy. Many countries competing with Australia have increased their investment. Israel currently has the highest spend globally at 4.25 per cent – thus is a powerful partner for research and development. There are other synergies between our countries including a well-known history of collaboration leading to successful outcomes, medically and commercially.
