MHTP is home to a number of world class scientific facilities. Our core facilities provide scientists with the opportunity to access equipment and services that are too costly for individual laboratories to maintain.
All services are available to MHTP researchers and the wider scientific.
Biobanking Victoria is the first industry-focused biobank in Australia.
The innovative facility operates at international standards and provides a complete end-to-end solution for biological material collection, handling, storage and analysis to support precision medicine, genomics, clinical trials, translational research and commercialisation opportunities to improve health outcomes.
Find out more about Biobanking Victoria.
The platform also provides access to the IPA (Ingenuity Pathway Analysis) and Metacore (GeneGo) software via a hot desk for its collaborators.

The Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine Platform hosts a biological Isolator that provides a fully contained environment suitable for the processing of human cells and tissue. This facility has been established to boost the clinical development of human cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine applications.
The Platform provides a flexible, cost-effective alternative to traditional cell therapy manufacturing and regenerative medicine facilities. It is available to researchers and commercial entities from within and outside the MHTP seeking to progress cell and tissue based therapies to the clinic. The platform houses the BioSpherix Xvivo ISO5 Isolator, an enclosed, integrated and fully controlled environment for cell and tissue processing.

Clinical trials provide patients with the most innovative treatments and medications available and improve the management of a range of diseases and medical conditions.
The Monash Health Translation Precinct (MHTP) has proudly facilitated more than 200 clinical trials within the state-of-the-art MHTP Clinical Trials Centre to date. In an Australian first, our unique and distinctive facility supports research conducted at Monash University and the Hudson Institute in collaboration with Monash Health, the largest public health service in Victoria.
Multiple Monash Health departments access the Clinical Trials Centre including Haematology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, Lung and Sleep, Diabetes, Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Stroke, Nephrology, Critical Care and ENT. Our trials are helping patients with a range of diseases and conditions, including Lymphoma, Advanced Solid Tumours, Hepatitis, Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma.
Since opening in December 2015, our dedicated and self-contained clinical research and trials facility has revolutionised how trials are conducted within Monash Health. Our co-location with researchers, on level 3 of the purpose-built Translational Research Facility, at the precinct, enhances collaboration and links between basic and clinical research and patient care, expediting translation of vital discoveries to the bedside.
The MHTP Clinical Trials Centre, directly connected to Monash Medical Centre by a link bridge, contains 10 consulting rooms, 8 clinical beds and 21 treatment chairs dedicated to clinical trials patients and can be accessed 24/7 should a trial require. Dedicated research nurses provide timely and accurate protocol-required data in a professional, warm and inviting environment.
Supported by an on-site DXA machine, a dedicated trials pharmacy and pathology service, the MHTP Clinical Trials Centre offers a one-stop-shop for conducting clinical trials.
Working together with Monash Health’s Research Support Services, Monash Health, Monash University and Hudson Institute researchers and coordinators, the Centre supports trials from Phase 1 through to Phase 4.
The MHTP Clinical Trials Centre continues to increase access to a countless number of trials for the fast growing population of Melbourne’s South East, and encourages national and international research collaborations.
