The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity is an infection and immunity powerhouse combining research, public health and education, supported by the Victorian Government and Melbourne Health.
The Institute groups seven major research organisations allowing hundreds of expert scientists, researchers, clinicians, academics, staff and students to share resources, equipment and knowledge.
Containing a range of highly specialised laboratories,
support spaces, and integrated teaching facilities, the spaces created within
the building promote and prioritise the collaboration, but equally the health
and well-being, of the building users.
A centre for excellence and creativity that befits its namesake and patron, Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty, the institute is a highly sustainable building that strengthens scientific leadership.
The building has been awarded a 5-Star Green Star rating by the Green Building Council of Australia.
