On Saturday 26 August 2017, between 10.00am and 3.30pm, the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research will open its doors to the public. If the inaugural open day is anything to go by, this will be a very popular event; 720 visitors toured the Nedlands facility to explore, experiment and learn more about research into cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases.



On the day, visitors will be able to attend talks on the very latest developments in medical research and treatments. Join guided tours of the building by medical researchers, which will include an inside-look at the spectacular exhibition areas and a visual history of medical research. See where the Institute's researchers tackle the most challenging human diseases and take a walk through the state-of-the-art laboratories.

Head to the hands-on laboratory activities in the Lotterywest BioDiscovery Centre. Here you can put on a lab coat and try your hand at research using tools medical researchers use.

Referring to the inaugural event, Perkins' Director, Professor Peter Leedman, said that "[t]here were all sorts of people who experienced our hospitality; lots of kids of all ages, mums and dads and grandparents from all walks of life. Tours were extremely popular." He stated that the "visitors loved the concept that they got tickets and clearly felt privileged to be able to go into the labs."

Those interested in medicine, health, science and technology will not want to miss this opportunity.
