Working together to improve outcomes
The Florey was created from the amalgamation of the Brain Research Institute, the Howard Florey Institute and the National Stroke Research Institute
In July 2007, the Florey was created from the amalgamation of the Brain Research Institute, the Howard Florey Institute and the National Stroke Research Institute.
Each organisation has brought individual strengths to the partnership. The Howard Florey Institute is known as a leader in basic science, the Brain Research Institute specialises in imaging development and epilepsy, and the expertise of the National Stroke Research Institute is in stroke, public health, epidemiology and clinical trials.
The creation of the Florey represents a powerful step forward in collaboration and productivity, drawing together leading neuroscientists from many areas to create an intense buzz of ideas on which new research thrives.
Sharing infrastructure and support services has also streamlined operational costs, ensuring our researchers have maximum access to the expensive and cutting-edge equipment and expertise they need.
“The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.”
