Abstract:
Founded in 2005, Gallipoli Medical Research (GMR) is a leading independent medical research institute located in Greenslopes, Brisbane, Queensland. GMR strives to enrich and restore lives through pioneering medical research that transcends the laboratory to deliver meaningful and tangible real-world solutions. In 2006, GMR launched its clinical trials program at one of Australia's largest private hospitals, with the focus on advancing healthcare through innovative treatments and emerging therapies, with a particular focus on oncology, liver, and respiratory diseases.
