**The Organisation**

Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) was established in 1958 as Australia’s first paediatric research facility. In their 65th year, the Institute is
**one of the nation’s most highly regarded independent medical research centres**. CMRI has built a strong international reputation based on research achievements in embryonic development and birth defects, cancer, neuroscience and gene therapy.

Their research programs are supported by state-of-the-art facilities and committed research and support staff. Originally established through a massive public awareness campaign in the 1950s, the achievements of the Institute have always been made possible by a
**loyal network of community supporters, highly engaged donors** and the very successful
**Jeans for Genes®** fundraising campaign.
