Griffith University Clinical Trial Unit

Griffith University Clinical Trial Unit continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary! This month, we will share real stories from our trial participants who took part in chronic disease trials. With nearly 47% of Australians living with one or more chronic diseases, finding innovative treatment options is crucial. We are currently conducting several chronic disease clinical trials.

Stay tuned for more #RealStoriesRealImpact shared throughout this month! #ChronicDisease #ClinicalTrials #PatientStories #RealStoriesRealImpact

Today is #RareDiseaseDay! There are often limited treatment options available for those living with a rare disease. At the Griffith University Clinical Trial Unit, we are proud to facilitate research that aims to improve quality of life. We have opportunities for patients to join current studies in renal and autoimmune diseases, head to our website to find out more. #clinicaltrials Research at Griffith

And that's a wrap for Trimester 1 Orientation Week at Griffith University Gold Coast! This iconic event was the perfect start to our 10 events over 10 months celebrating 10 years - recognising our valued Griffith community, students and staff - who play a significant role in our clinical trials. Over two action-packed days, we had the pleasure of meeting enthusiastic students and dedicated staff from a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, IT, law, architecture, business, and more! A huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand to learn about clinical trial opportunities, we have a diverse range of enrolling trials and we hope to welcome many of you in the Unit soon. The event was also a great opportunity to connect with students and staff to discuss how we can support academic research within Griffith. As a Core Research Facility, we are available to discuss your research needs and we have the facilities and professional staff to support your next project. The Clinical Trial Unit is passionate about advancing medical research to provide better treatment options for the community. We are deeply grateful to our Griffith community for supporting and working with us! #GriffithUniversity #OWeek2025 #ClinicalTrials

BioAsia 2025 was an impressive affair.🎉 2,500 delegates attended this year. The Welcome Ceremony set the scene with global pharma, CROs, High-tech and laboratory giants lining up to announce opening of locations in Telegana to support and utilise the Indian state’s rapid growth in life sciences. The Trade and Investment Queensland delegation had a strong presence and were supported by the Governor of Queensland, Her Excellency Dr Jeannette Young and the Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates MP RN. There were lots of discussions about Indian AI services in healthcare/clinical trials, an interest in translational research collaborations between India and Australia, including with Griffith Health, possibilities for Indian #clinicaltrials in Australia (may be also in Griffith University Clinical Trial Unit😉) and Australian education offerings. A press conference with the delegation was well received with publications in 6 Indian newspapers. The site visit to Indian Immunologicals Limited delivered an amazing insight into the company’s visionary past, a strategic outlook and celebrated existing collaborations with researchers from the Griffith University Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics. One of the panels dived into India’s great need for #clinicaltrials and how to seize the opportunity with speed, but importantly, quality. It was amazing to be part of it all.🎈 Thank you🙏, Trade and Investment Queensland and Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade)!

Thank you BioAsia 2025 for inviting me to participate in the #clinicaltrials panel discussion. Thought provoking discussion. Loved it!

We are celebrating our 10-year anniversary by hosting 10 events over 10 months! These events are opportunities to engage with our valued volunteers, clinician network, Griffith staff and students, as well as industry stakeholders and the wider community. We will provide more information about how to get involved closer to the date – stay tuned!

We hope your 2025 is off to an amazing start! We’re excited for the year ahead; it is a special one for us. We are turning 10! Our Unit has grown from a concept to a self-sustaining, internationally recognised clinical trial site that is underpinned by strong governance, management and compliance. We are incredibly proud of our many achievements, especially successfully partnering with global pharma, advancing academic-clinician collaborations and bringing new and innovative treatment options to the Gold Coast community, which they otherwise would not have had access to. Stay tuned for event details - we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Together, we’ll continue to make a difference in clinical and health care research for years to come.
