Prince Henry’s Institute

Prince Henry's Institute has been a significant contributor to world health for over 30 years. Our work has a global impact and concentrates on endocrinology - the study of hormones and their effect on all bodily functions, health and disease. It is also one of a few major research institutes that combine basic and clinical research. 

Following the closure of Prince Henry's Hospital in South Melbourne, the hospital's research division became a separate entity following incorporation under its own Act of Parliament in May 1988 and is now known as Prince Henry's Institute. Facilities were transferred to Monash Medical Centre to enable integration of the Institute into the Southern Health Care Network, which is now Southern Health.

Staffed by over 100 scientists who are acknowledged internationally as leaders in their field and recognised by the World Health Organisation as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Research in Human Reproduction, research by the Institute has contributed significantly towards solving health disorders related to: 
  • male and female infertility
  • breast and ovarian cancer
  • cardiovascular disease
  • obesity
  • diabetes
  • complications of menopause
  • high blood pressure
  • stress
  • tumours of the pituitary gland
