Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research

Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research Inspiring health and transforming care with local focus, national significance and global impact

The Institute’s medical research programs have a translational focus, with results from our medical research transformed into direct health benefits. Our research is applied in the form of new medical treatments and therapies in hospitals and health programs for the community. The Institute has over 350 researchers exploring new medical approaches across:
- Cancer (from biology to technology and p

atient support programs)
- Clinical Sciences (treatments for Diabetes, Stroke, Respiratory and Autoimmune diseases)
- Population & Health Services (studies into Women’s Health, Nursing practices, and Early Childhood)
- Injury & Rehabilitation (rehabilitation for Brain Injury and Orthopaedic surgery)
- Mental Health (therapies for Autism, Schizophrenia, Learning Development Disorders)
- Robotics and Health Technology (redefining eHealth, remote surgery and patient care). In addition to the six research streams, the Ingham Institute provides over 500 Clinical Trials to more than 2,500 patients. We are forefront of the most advanced medical breakthroughs and clinical discoveries and are committed to saving and improving lives. Our facilities enable world-first research, training and technology to be explored and developed. Ultimately we redefine and improve the treatment of disease and inform the nature of care across numerous health conditions.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for An Evening with Professor Dr V. Mohan: Global Perspectives on Diabetes and Health Equity.

We were honoured to hear from Distinguished Professor David Simmons, Professor of Medicine at Western Sydney University and President of the International Diabetes Epidemiology Group, and Professor Dr. V. Mohan, Chief of Diabetology at Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre, whose research explored how South Asian genetics and environmental factors contribute to diabetes risk.

Thank you to our Co-sponsors Macarthur Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism Services (MDEMS), Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Translational Research Unit (DOMTRU), and Western Sydney University for making this event possible.

The scan that catches a complication early. The care that gets a mother through a high-risk pregnancy. The research that gives a baby the best possible start.

None of these breakthroughs happen by accident. They happen because everyday Australians choose to stand behind the science.

This September 9, Ingham Institute is taking part in Australia's first-ever national Medical Research Giving Day. Funds raised through Ingham Institute will go directly to women's and children's health research here in South Western Sydney for local and national impact.

Introducing the Ingham Institute Postdoctoral Association, a group established to represent and support early and mid-career professionals across the Institute.

The Association is committed to fostering a culture of professional growth by facilitating connections, raising awareness, and delivering targeted initiatives such as Lunch and Learn sessions and other programs designed to support researchers throughout their careers.

Through these efforts, the Association envisions an inclusive community in which all researchers are empowered, valued, recognised, and supported in their current and future endeavours.

Pictured left to right: Dr Amy Chen, Dr Heena Sareen (IIPA Chair), Dr Zhihong Xu, Dr Shadma Fatima, Dr Chamini Perera and Mona Andarva, all committee members of the Association. Also acknowledged but not pictured are Dr Parvathy Rajan, Dr Tanzila Khan and Dr Das Ashish Kumar.

Medical breakthroughs aren't just driven by researchers.

They happen because of everyday people who choose to stand behind the science.

On September 9, Ingham Institute joins more than 30 medical research institutes across Australia for the country's first-ever Medical Research Giving Day. It's a national movement, but every dollar donated to us will support our research, helping improve the health of mothers and babies.

You don't need a lab coat to help save a life.

Lunch & Learn Seminar Series

We're excited to welcome Dr Ashlea Lorenz for our next seminar: "Deciphering the mechanisms underlying susceptibility to mycobacterial infection in Cystic Fibrosis"

📅 Tuesday, 11 August 2026
🕛 12:00 PM
📍 Ingham Institute Boardroom, Level 1

About the Speaker: Dr Ashlea Lorenz is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the Cancer and Inflammation group at Ingham Institute. She recently completed her PhD at the Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney, where she investigated the immunological mechanisms underlying susceptibility to mycobacterial infection in chronic lung disease, with a particular focus on cystic fibrosis. Her research aimed to identify host-directed therapeutic targets to improve outcomes for patients with treatment-resistant infections. She is currently investigating predictive biomarkers of immunotherapy response across multiple cancer types using liquid biopsy and advanced proteomic imaging approaches. Her research interests span host–pathogen interactions, translational immunology, and precision medicine.

The nearest cancer service can be hours away for people in remote Australia.

The Australian Centre for Cancer Equity (AcCE) is working to make cancer care more accessible wherever you are, ensuring distance is less of a barrier to early diagnosis and treatment.

AcCE is an NSW-led partnership between Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research, South Western Sydney Local Health District and the Cancer Institute NSW.

Half the population of south western Sydney speak a language other than English at home. For The Australian Centre for Cancer Equity (AcCE), overcoming communication barriers is about more than translation – it’s about making cancer care easier to navigate, fostering understanding, and building lasting trust with diverse communities.

AcCE is an NSW-led partnership between Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research, South Western Sydney Local Health District and the Cancer Institute NSW.
