About Curtin Medical Research Institute Facilities

The Curtin Medical Research Institute (Curtin MRI) provides advanced, PC2-certified laboratory facilities that support safe and compliant research involving human cells and moderate-risk biological materials. These laboratories operate within a modern biomedical wet lab environment, enabling research across cell biology, microbiology and molecular science.

Core Facilities

Cell and Biological Systems
Tissue culture and flow cytometry facilities support cell growth, manipulation and analysis. These enable applications such as drug testing, disease modelling and immunology research within sterile, controlled environments.

Imaging and Structural Analysis
Microscopy and histology services provide high-resolution imaging, tissue processing and visualisation of cellular and molecular processes, supporting bioimaging and pathology research.

Molecular and Chemical Analysis
Mass spectrometry facilities enable precise identification and quantification of proteins, metabolites and other biomolecules, supporting proteomics and metabolomics research.

Data and Computational Resources
Dedicated data analysis platforms support bioinformatics, statistical analysis and the management of complex experimental datasets.

Shared Infrastructure

All facilities operate under a shared resource model, providing centralised access to specialised equipment and expertise. This promotes collaboration and supports research across key areas including cancer, infectious diseases, neuroscience and metabolic health.

Flexible Design

The facilities follow a modular, adaptable design with both general-purpose and specialised laboratory spaces, allowing Curtin MRI to respond to evolving research needs.

Curtin MRI delivers an integrated research environment combining biosafety-certified laboratories, advanced technologies and collaborative infrastructure to support impactful biomedical research.
