Company Profile:
“Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute is Australia's first health and medical research institute tackling the deadly trio of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Our work extends from the laboratory to wide-scale community studies. Baker IDI fills a void in health and medical research by allowing traditionally disparate groups to work together and collaborate under one umbrella and one organisational culture. Our activities span basic bench research through to treatment of patients in specialist patient clinics. In addition, we have a strong interest in indigenous diabetes and cardiovascular disease health issues with a clinic in Alice Springs, NT.”
