Meet Lisa Raven, a PhD student at Garvan. Lisa's research project focuses on finding better outcomes for people after a heart transplant.

Research at Garvan Institute, including our student projects, aims to comprehend the impact of genes, molecular and cellular processes on health and disease.

This understanding serves as the foundation for developing preventive measures, treatments, and cures in the future.

We spoke to Sam, a genetic counselling student, who has been fundraising for this year's City2Surf.

“So many families go years without answers for rare genetic conditions. Garvan’s work through the Genomics of Rare Disease registry is helping change that — and that’s why I’m proud to run and fundraise for them.”

Few scientific advances have captured the imagination and hope of the global community quite like CRISPR.

This technique makes it possible for scientists to modify DNA more easily than ever before, holding immense potential for human health.

Professor Brink and other researchers at Garvan have been using CRISPR gene editing to model rare genetic diseases – which have traditionally been expensive, slow and difficult to research, leaving patients with few answers or treatment options.

When Michael first started experiencing pain in his lower back, he put it down to a cricket injury.

At 48, he was active and healthy, with no reason to suspect something worse. Then a scan revealed the unthinkable.

Meet Claire, who generously decided to leave a gift for Garvan in her will.

“If someone is considering leaving a gift in their Will, I would say, do it! It doesn’t have to be all of your assets. Every little bit counts. By supporting medical research, you are leaving a gift to future generations of your family, and to humanity as well.”
