THE KOLLING INSTITUTE – WHO WE ARE Delivering innovation and high-quality care for over a century As the oldest medical research institute in New South Wales, the Kolling Institute is in a unique position, built on 105 years of well-respected research. It continues to proudly support hundreds of dedicated scientists who are committed to tangible gains and improved community health and wellbeing. As a joint venture partnership, the Kolling Institute is supported by the resources and expertise of the University of Sydney and the Northern Sydney Local Health District. This places its investigators in a strong position to drive significant change in the delivery of healthcare. Our researchers pursue innovations spanning from discovery science to impactful, potentially life-changing projects. Each body of work aims to extend our understanding of complex health conditions and improve community wellbeing at every age. At the Kolling Institute, we are consistently producing world-leading research into some of the most significant health challenges, including heart and kidney disease, chronic pain and neurological conditions, as well as cancer, musculoskeletal and age- related conditions. A large share of our investigators are ranked in the top two percent of global experts in their field, and remarkably, this is not limited to a few areas, but right across the institute. The depth of experience and expertise places our institute in a privileged position. Our research success relies on our strong partnerships, and investigators are consistently expanding their local, national and international collaborations. Community input and engagement is another crucial part of our research impact. The institute’s location at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital ensures our research community has direct access to patient groups and state-of-the-art infrastructure. These advantages help accelerate new models of care. Our teams have been at the forefront of scientific progress for more than 100 years. Today, they continue to build on that remarkable legacy, offering hope, greater knowledge and better health outcomes.
