Our flagship research institutes not only support cross-disciplinary research – they also help ensure our discoveries are translated to create real-world impact.

The Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) is a multidisciplinary partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Local Health District and the community. It provides a unique environment for researchers and clinicians to work together to develop innovative solutions to community health needs. From neuroscience and mental health, through to cancer, reproductive health, respiratory disease, and more, the research carried out at HMRI leads to better clinical care, more competitive commercial products, and improved healthcare guidelines.

The Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER) leads the way in research that improves energy production, storage, and distribution. The $30 million research facility is on a scale unmatched by any other university in Australia and brings together over 300 university researchers to work with community and industry partners in the areas of sustainable energy production and use.

The University recognises its strongest research groups by designating them as a Priority Research Centre (PRC). Achieving PRC status is a highly competitive process. Today, we have PRCs in areas ranging from stroke and brain injury to geotechnical science and engineering, chemical biology, healthy lungs, teaching and more.
