Flinders Clinical and Molecular Medicine

 

Pioneering innovative solutions for major health issues

Flinders Clinical and Molecular Medicine is one of six multidisciplinary research and education clusters at the Flinders University School of Medicine.

In many ways we are unique in the clinical, health and molecular field. Traditional barriers to truly collaborative research have been removed to encourage close cooperation among associated but diverse medical and health disciplines.

It’s an approach that brings together our brightest scientists with leading clinicians to advance cutting-edge approaches for prevention and treatment.

For higher degree and PhD students, these interactive opportunities are exciting and extensive.

They can be involved in internationally recognised research and learning in multidisciplinary areas covering cancer, nutrition and ophthalmology, child development to surgical innovation.

 

Our major centres of research:

Cancer Prevention and Control

Reducing the impact of cancer by translating cutting-edge research into clinical practice is the core focus of the Flinders Centre for Cancer Prevention and Control (FCCPC).

 

Eye and vision research

Improving long-term outcomes for patients with blinding eye conditions is the principle aim of the research program of the multidisciplinary Flinders Centre for Ophthalmology, Eye and Vision Research.

 

Physical Activity and Nutrition Observatory: Research And Monitoring Alliance (PANORAMA)

The Physical Activity and Nutrition Observatory: Research And Monitoring Alliance "PANORAMA", will build SA Health capacity to support good nutrition and adequate physical activity.  It will be a unique hub of expertise in research, population health monitoring and evaluation, focussing upon healthy weight and its wider determinants.  The Centre will monitor progress of Eat Well Be Active programs and policies, research and evaluate what is working and help SA Health to turn this information into practical programs and policies.  PANORAMA.
