ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û

The is a multi-disciplinary health and tropical medicine research institute located in the tropics. Based at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û in northern Queensland, AITHM has key nodes in Townsville, Cairns and the Torres Strait.

AITHM’s research programs confront northern Australia's major health security risks, tackle its worst health outcomes, develop better ways to deliver health services to remote communities and contribute to the development of northern Australia through research, knowledge infrastructure and commercialisation of research findings.

Our research spans public health, biomolecular, clinical, translational, and health systems research and is strongly focused on the health issues of most importance to tropical Australia, delivering significant public health benefit locally, regionally and globally.

The  (CSTFA) brings together a multidisciplinary team organised into 3 main : Aquatic food security and safety, novel aquatic products and applications, and human dimensions of aquatic resources and production.

The  (TAAHC) is a collaboration between the Cairns and Hinterland, Mackay, North West, Torres and Cape, and Townsville Hospital and Health Services; the Northern Queensland Primary Health Network; and ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û, including the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine. By embedding research into health service delivery, TAAHC aims to improve quality and efficiency of health care, enhance recruitment and retention of professionals in the region and encourage greater investment in the north.
