Garvan Institute of Medical Research

Help Garvan researchers find out what causes autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and MS. This research could lead to earlier diagnosis and more precise treatments for women living with these conditions. 👉Donate: #AutoimmuneDisease

Three publications in Nature shed new light on how our genes shape disease risk, opening new paths to precision medicine. The research was led by Garvan’s Professor Daniel MacArthur and Professor Joseph Powell. 🔗 #MedicalResearch #NaturePublications

We're excited to welcome @Goodman_Group as community partner for our AllClear program, alongside principal partner @NBCFAus. 🔗Read the full story: #BreastCancerResearch #MedicalResearch

Garvan's Dr Ksenia Skvortsova is investigating why women are more susceptible to autoimmune disease, research that could open new pathways to earlier diagnosis and better treatments. 🔗 #AutoimmuneResearch #AutoimmuneDisease #MedicalResearch

Your support brings Garvan researchers closer to finding the causes of autoimmune diseases like scleroderma. 👉Donate today: #AutoimmuneDisease #MedicalResearch #SclerodermaAwareness

By uncovering the biology behind autoimmune disease, our researchers are opening pathways to faster diagnosis and better treatments. 🔗Help accelerate this research: #AutoimmuneDisease #MedicalResearch #GarvanInstitute

Discovery After Dark is on this evening at Garvan🔬 Is discovery driven more by imagination or knowledge? Hear our researchers debate this question live, explore our Art of Discovery exhibition, then stay for refreshments and canapés. 🔗 #MedicalResearch

Is discovery driven more by imagination or knowledge? 👀 Tomorrow evening, join us at Garvan for Discovery After Dark: a live debate, our Art of Discovery exhibition, followed by refreshments and canapés. 🔗Limited places remain:

Why do autoimmune diseases affect so many more women than men? Dr Ksenia Skvortsova and her team at Garvan believe the answer may lie in our sex chromosomes. 🔗 #AutoimmuneDiseases #MedicalResearch #WomenHealth #GarvanInstitute

🎧 On the latest Medical Minds, Professor Christopher Goodnow explains how identifying rogue immune cells could lead to better treatments for autoimmune diseases. 🔗Listen to ‘Finding the needle in the haystack’: #AutoimmuneDisease #Research

Congratulations to Professor Daniel MacArthur and Professor Joseph Powell, newly elected Fellows of @AAHMS_health. Their work underpins rare disease diagnosis and our understanding of how genetic variation leads to disease. 🔗 Read the full story:
