Hudson Institute is a great place to be a research student. It provides students with the opportunity to learn from professional research scientists and engage with them about their research, while also being full of friendly and enthusiastic students and staff that make for a great environment to be in.

Liesl Bramberger

PhD student, Translational Antigen Discovery
Centre for Cancer Research

Being at Hudson Institute is great because everyone is knowledgeable in different things, so there is always an expert to ask and they are always willing to help. There's also a student retreat offsite so you can get to know the other students outside of work and there's lots of interaction between students in different groups.

Studying at Hudson Institute allows me the opportunity to produce highly translatable research, as we are just next door to Monash Health. I am surrounded by highly experienced scientists across many fields of research, and we have a very supportive student community. I have found it a very rewarding place to study!

I chose Hudson Institute because the scientists are passionate about the research they do, and there is strong support for young people and women in science.
