ANZAC Research Institute

24/04/2026

On this ANZAC Day, the ANZAC Research Institute joins the nation in a moment of reflection and deep gratitude. We honour the servicemen and women who have served, and continue to serve, our country with courage, selflessness, and an enduring spirit of mateship.

The ANZAC name is one we carry with immense pride and responsibility. While the origins of this day are found in sacrifice on the battlefield, our mission at the Institute is to honour that legacy by advancing the health and well-being of the community through medical research.

Today, we pause to remember those who gave their lives and acknowledge the resilience of our veteran community. Their history inspires our future as we strive for excellence in discovery and care.

Lest we forget.

Congratulations to Dr Jeffrey Wang and the team from the Atherosclerosis Team here at ANZAC and beyond for their recent publication:

“Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein, remnant cholesterol, and apolipoproteins CII, CIII and E in patients with schizophrenia”

This work shows that people living with Schizophrenia have significantly altered lipid profiles that are not explained by traditional metabolic risk factors such as obesity and diabetes. This finding provides new opportunities for targeted therapies for elevated triglycerides and cardiovascular risk in this underserved population.
