Children's_Medical_Research_Institute
Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) is an Australian medical research institute located in Westmead that conducts research into children's genetic diseases. As of 2019[update], current research is focused on cancer, birth defects, neurological conditions such as epilepsy, and gene therapy.[1]
Much of CMRI's cancer research focuses on telomeres (including telomerase) and the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) mechanism, which was discovered at CMRI in 1997.[2]
