Addressing the changing health landscape
The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is an independent, internationally renowned medical research facility, with a history spanning more than 93 years. The Institute's work extends from the laboratory to wide-scale community studies with a focus on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and associated metabolic diseases.
The comprehensive range of research undertaken to target these deadly diseases, combined with the flexibility and innovation to respond to changing health and community needs, is unique and sets the Baker Institute apart from other health and research Institutes.
The Institute's mission is to reduce death and disability from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and related disorders; two prevalent and complex diseases responsible for the most deaths and the highest health costs in the world.
With Australia facing an ageing population and rapidly growing rates of chronic disease, our work has never been more important to Australian communities, as well as the global communities in which it operates.
The Institute is well positioned to address these challenges. The Institute's highly diverse team includes cardiologists, diabetes physicians, bench-top scientists, epidemiologists, dietitians, biostaticians, computational biologists, nurse educators, remote healthcare workers and physical activity experts. Together, they are working to translate laboratory findings into new approaches to prevention, treatment and care.
These new approaches include actively embracing technological advances in areas such as genomics and informatics, which are enhancing our ability to more precisely diagnose disease and target prevention and treatment. The breadth of our work, combined with our multi-omic focus, means we are ideally placed to harness these developments to more precisely target metabolic disease.

Why us
Our Mission
To reduce death and disability from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other related health disorders
The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute measures its performance, and seeks to be judged by its stakeholders and peers, on the contribution it is able to make in three areas:
Scholarly achievement measured by publication number and impact, citation rates, and contribution to academic discourse which effect paradigm shifts in the discipline.
Translation of research output in clinical, commercial and policy environments where new knowledge generated through the Institute's research activity have an impact on the lives of people with, or at risk, of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Contributions to clinical service delivery and preventive health initiatives, through the successful operation of its clinics and clinical service partnerships, and the development and management of preventive health programs which contribute to the public understanding of how to prevent and manage disease.
Our Values
Excellence
Achieving excellence in scientific research and all that we do.
Integrity
Creating a positive culture through open, honest and respectful dealings and meeting expectations for the responsible conduct of research.
Effective communication
Enabling effective outcomes and ensuring medical science and its benefits are widely understood.
Workplace innovation
Implementing and recognising innovative work practices and encouraging people to pursue careers in medical research.
Efficient and trustworthy use of funding and resources
Ensuring that we make the most effective use of funds and resources in achieving our mission.
