Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical Translation

FHMRI champions the work of our researchers in the most important way: by facilitating the flow of new knowledge to the community.

At the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute (FHMRI) our clinical researchers work to develop and implement new methods for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease to improve health. This is facilitated by their co-location with Flinders Medical Centre and private hospital, and strong partnerships with rural and remote communities.

Through your PhD research in Clinical Translation, you will have the opportunity to work on clinically relevant projects that enhance understanding about healthy ageing, blinding eye conditions, heart and vascular disease, sleep disorders, and many other diseases.

A PhD in Clinical Translation will position you as an expert in your area of specialisation. A PhD is a stepping stone to professional research or as a highly sought-after expert in the private or public sector in Australia and internationally. You will gain invaluable critical analysis skills.

This prestigious degree will equip you with valuable skills for developing successful grants, improving research quality and research capacity, and skills for developing collaboration and engagement with your peers, industry and consumers.
