The QIMR Berghofer 80th Anniversary Gala Dinner
On 1 November 2025, 80 years to the day since the Queensland Institute of Medical Research Act came into effect, we will gather in style to honour our legacy and fuel the future of medical innovation.
This is a rare opportunity to raise much-needed funds to combat the greatest health challenges of the future. Your generosity on the night will contribute to critical research — from cancer and infectious diseases to brain and mental health.
