About the position

It will benefit from access to outstanding archival tissue and disease cohorts through RMH. With the recently launched Snow Centre for Immune Health, the Centre forms a key element of WEHI and RMH’s strategic focus on translating research on immune and inflammatory disorders into improvements in patient care.
