Go behind the scenes of one of Victoria's leading medical research institutes

As part of the Day of Immunology Victoria 2025, organised by the Australia and New Zealand Society for Immunology (ASI), St Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research (SVI) is opening its doors to the public.

Discovery tours provide a unique opportunity for the community to find out more about medical research, see our state-of-the-art facilities, learn about our exciting discoveries and talk to passionate scientists about their research.

At SVI, we work collaboratively to tackle critical health challenges that face many Australians, including cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, infectious disease and dementia.

At SVI, we celebrate fundamental biological discovery and practical application alike because both are required to improve disease treatment, diagnosis and prevention. There are no breakthroughs, no new wonder drugs, no big leaps forward without new understanding.
