Where community meets cutting-edge science.
At the Baker Institute's Clinical Trial and Research Centre, people from across our community are helping drive the future of cardiovascular medicine. Based in Hoppers Crossing, our centre tests new treatments and therapies in real-world settings — transforming scientific discovery into practical solutions that save lives.
Clinical trials are essential to advancing heart health. They help us prove which new treatments work better than current options, paving the way for improved care and better outcomes for everyone affected by cardiovascular disease.
Your participation shapes tomorrow's healthcare
Every person who joins a clinical trial becomes a vital partner in medical progress. The insights we gain don't just advance science — they help inform the next generation of treatments that could benefit millions of Australians living with, or at risk of, heart disease.
Expert care, close to home
Our Clinical Trial and Research Centre operates through a trusted partnership between the Baker Institute and Dr Deepak Haikerwal from HeartWest. This collaboration brings world-class cardiovascular research to Melbourne's west, ensuring our community has access to the latest innovations in heart health.
From your first conversation with our team to the completion of your trial journey, we're here to support you with expertise, compassion and respect.
